Vishnu
Brahma is one of the gods that comprises the Hindu Trinity, along with Shiva and Vishnu. Brahma is the creator and has four faces. Though Brahma initially granted Ravana boons that made him very powerful, he asks Vishnu for help in defeating Ravana when Ravana begins to use his powers for evil. Later, Brahma takes it upon himself to remind Rama of his divinity.
