For a list of Hindu gods and godesses, see [Hindu deities](/source/Hindu_deities). ***The Hindu Pantheon*** was a book written by [Edward Moor](/source/Edward_Moor), an early European scholar of Indian religion. It was published in [London](/source/London) in 1810.[1] *The Hindu Pantheon* was illustrated with examples from Moor's own collection of Hindu artifacts, which are currently displayed in [the British Museum](/source/The_British_Museum). Many of the illustrations were engraved by [William Blake](/source/William_Blake). *The Hindu Pantheon* is illustrative of [the Enlightenment](/source/The_Enlightenment) concept of education of foreign cultures and religions; it was significant as it sought to dispel any European preconceptions that Hinduism was a largely primitive pagan religion.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] This book is also noted as of the first to provide a careful presentation of Hinduism to an English audience.[2] A copy of the book [*The Hindu Pantheon*](https://books.google.com/books?id=5kJDAAAAYAAJ) is available on Google books and can be downloaded at no cost. ## Chapters - Preface - [Brahman](/source/Brahman) - [Brahma](/source/Brahma) - [Vishnu](/source/Vishnu) - [Siva](/source/Shiva) - [Narayana](/source/Narayana) - [Viraj &c.](/source/Viraj) - [Brahmadicas &c.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brahmadica&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Rishis &c.](/source/Rishi) - [Menus &c.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Menu_(Hinduism)&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Munis &c](/source/Muni_(Hinduism)) - [Pandus, Rudras &c.](/source/Pandu) - [Vasus, Maruts &c.](/source/Vasu) - [Pitris, Danavas & c.](/source/Pitri) - [Surs & c.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Surs_(Hinduism)&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Asparas &c.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aspara&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Viraj &c.
