It is told that there is only one god and god is eternal. how come each religion mentions a particular god. If god is eternal there cannot be different gods

Yes, there is more than one God.
God is a title and not a name,
much like President, President who.
Each religion is allowed to name its Gods and
therefore the names are different.
The Gods are indeed numerous and eternal.
Have a pleasant day.

There is, there was & there will be no other message:
THE HIGHER LAW: “Each and every human being upon this planet and upon every planet that exists in this Universe is the only and true God of this Universe. There is no other, and should be no other God before you. You should love this God with all your heart, might, mind, and soul, and allow no other God in the heavens above or upon the earth below to influence or have control over this God. You are this God. You were created as a God, to be a God of your own Universe. There is no other God before you, behind you, or beside you. KNOW THIS! BELIEVE THIS! UNDERSTAND THIS!
And the second part of the Royal Law is like unto the first: Value and treat your fellow human beings as the Gods that they are. Treat them as if they are Gods like you are a God. If they are Gods, then how can you tell them what they should do, what they should think, what they can do, what they have to do? How can you judge a God? How can you set a measure for a God? How can YOU command a God, except for the God who you are?
This is the message. There is no other message.”THERE NEVER WAS!"

Your premise is flawed; Just because one god is eternal does not preclude the existence of others, does it? Why would you think that?
The following passages in the bible seem to make pretty clear that while "God" is the "head god", there are many other legitimate gods, not just the pagan ones and false gods also mentioned often in scripture.
Gen. 14:18, 19, 20, 22; 2 Sam. 22:14; Ps. 7:17; 18:13 ,47:2, 50:14, 57:2, 78:56, 82:6, 83:18; 91:9; 92:1,8; and Heb. 7:1. Thus the LORD is Lord of lords (see Deut. 10:17; Ps. 136:3; 1 Tim. 6:15; Rev. 17:14 and 19:16), and King of kings (see I Tim. 6:15; Rev. 17:14 and 19:16).

Why not? Because one is eternal, others cannot be? That's like saying because one baby in your family lives to age one, the rest aren't allowed to. Baloney!
There are a few montheistic religions - like Christianity. Every other religion has a pantheon of gods, most of them are what are referred to as "household" gods, with specific areas they watch over and command. Gods for harvest, fertility, planting, death, the hearth, the home, the livestock, war. Each pantheon has it's creator god - attributed with creating the world - and even some of them are multiple gods, like in some native american beliefs, where brothers create the world.
Then there is the idea of all gods in one - where on supreme power manifests itself as any god or goddess needed, at time and place when needed, to help the people better understand - but in the end, there is but one over all god with many many manifestations of itself.

Some people believe there are separate Gods.
Some, like me, believe that all the Gods and Goddesses ever believed in throughout history are the same One Eternal Great Spirit-- just people call different names or have different religions, but are all relating to the same Divine Spirit.

It matters not by what name we call our individual god(s). If the lesson taught is the same, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, do good unto all men and love one another. The core message remains the same through most religions, whether they have one god or many, the message is eternal and unchanging. It is my belief that the differences in religions arise when the precepts of men that become intermingled with the truth of god's message.
14:20 And if my Lord and my God is called Cummenkinin, and it is this being whom I worship and obey, what say ye of my righteousness then? And if it so be that Cummenkinin hath established a church among my people, which is established according to our traditions and our culture, which of a surety is different than your own, is it then a sin to worship our God in this manner, who is not called Jesus Christ by us, but who is the same God whom ye worship according to your traditions?
21 And if our prophets, whom we call Serihlibiem, teach us the law of Cummenkinin, and teach us that we should love our enemies and do good to them that hate us and persecute us, and if we live our lives in harmony with the spirit of Cummenkinin, as we are taught by our Serihlibiem, are we to be condemned for not taking upon us the name of Jesus Christ only because we do not understand this name, and it cannot be understood by us according to our language and our culture?
23 And this doth not take away the efficacy of the holy name of Christ, by which all men shall be saved. For I have written upon this record the meaning of the symbolism of which a name is given. And again I say unto you, that all names are symbolic of the works that are associated with that name.
24 And is it not by the works of Christ, or Cummenkinin, or by whatever name he might be called, that we are saved? I say unto you, that it is by the works, which the name of Christ doth symbolize, by which we are saved. Behold, we are not saved by his name, but by that which he hath accomplished for us.
25 Therefore, it mattereth not unto the Father by what name we call Him or those whom He hath commissioned to serve us and bring us back to His kingdom.
26 And if there are churches and religions that are named according to the customs and traditions of the different peoples of the world; and if these have their own written word, which is their holy scripture, then what difference would they have in the eyes of the Lord, if it so be that they teach his gospel?
27 I say unto you, that there is no difference. And if these teach the words of the gospel of Christ, then they are accepted by him.

Not everyone believes in this "one and eternal" god. Some religions worship many gods.

there's only one God. Humans like to complicate things and breed discontent. Its their nature.
