How well do you know your Hindu Gods ?



How well do you know your Hindu Gods? Test your knowledge in this quiz . It wasn't easy, but I got 9 out of 15 right.

(Yeah, I know....it's below average result for a Dutch who is married to a Hindu...I've made the appointment with the Pundit for tomorrow, ok?

Apparently 9 is the average. I got 8. But I have to confess to a few lucky guesses.

15/15 at third attempt. Practise makes you a better hindu or at least , makes you know your Gods better. But then, we have millions of Gods. At least it's a start.
