The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon. |
Hindu Gods are the gods and goddesses in Hinduism and/or Hindu mythology. The terms and epithets for deity within the diverse traditions of Hinduism vary, and include Deva, Devi, Ishvara, Bhagavan and Bhagavathi. They are the main gods of the Pandava Quintet, a series written by Roshani Chokshi published by Rick Riordan Presents. Chokshi focuses on the Vedic gods from Rig Veda in the series.[1]
According to Krithika P. Shah, the gods were numerous, but they didn’t stay as one person all the time, sometimes they were reincarnated.[2]
