Lord Brahma, the creator was part of Hindu Trinity of gods! Lord Brahma is considered the creative attribute of God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). As a human being we were just born. Nothing related to birth was in our control. Once we were born, the role of Lord Brahma ends! Why pray to Lord Brahma when he could not interfere in daily routines of life!
Lord Vishnu is considered the maintainer hence almost all in Hinduism prayed to Lord Vishnu or his manifestations! People also feared Lord Shiva as the ultimate controller and hence prayed to him. As believed by most in Hinduism, nothing in present life was in control of Lord Brahma, why create a temple for him! Most human beings on mother earth prayed to God out of fear. This was the firm belief in Hinduism, although slightly misplaced! Must we remember God only in our sufferings, never happiness?
People in West prayed to God for his benevolence, grace… his acts of kindness, not out of fear! Going to a Hindu temple we could easily find out why Hindus prayed to God… asking God for something or other all the time! Filling coffers of temples in the name of God was sheer ignorance! Our belief should be more on individual karma than praying to God as practiced in West!
