• The three main cult deities – the Trinity consisting of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, along with their consorts, form the first aspect.
• The minor deities like Ganesha and Kumara, form the second aspect. Though these deities also described as the facets of God, their position is usually inferior to that of Trinity.
• The Lokapalas (protectors of the world) also called as Dikpalas (protectors of the cardinal directions) like Indra, Varuna, Agni and other compromise the third aspect.
• They are many number of village deities and demigods who can be regarded either as very limited manifestations of the Supreme God or as forces of nature or as human beings who by virtue of some special merit and power are elevated to godhood in course of time, after their death.
