The Truth Behind 33 Koti Gods

The Truth Behind 33 Koti God of Hindhu
 

In Hinduism, there is an old belief that there are 33 crore gods and goddesses. The word Koti means type, that is, there are 33 categories of deities in Hinduism. The word Koti itself has been changed to a crore in colloquial language.

Delusional reasoning: It is said that the number of gods and goddesses is said to be 33 crores to confuse Hinduism. 33 categories of deities are mentioned in the scriptures, not crores. Even as the meaning of the identical word is different when the identical word is employed in numerous places, the word Koti has two meanings in Devbhasha Sanskrit.

Koti has two meanings: one type and the other crore. Because of this, the belief in 33 crore deities has become popular. There is a tradition of worshiping these deities while duly performing puja at the beginning of any work.
