Lord Brahma 
#   The Creator of the universe. 
#  He is the first member of the Hindu Trinity that also includes Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. 
#  His divine consort is Saraswati, the Goddess of learning and knowledge. 
Brahma is a four-faced and four-armed deity.The four faces represent the sacred knowledge of the four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva). 
The four hands represent the four aspects of human personality: mind (back right hand), intellect (back left hand), ego (front right hand), and the empirical self or conditioned consciousness (front left hand). He carries a rosary in the upper right hand, a book in the upper left hand, a kamandalu (water pot) in the lower left hand, and bestows grace with His lower right hand. 
Brahma uses the swan as a vehicle.
