Lord Brahma, The one who creates everything (Brahma is the creator in the Hindu trinity), and writes all the vedas (apparently the vedas came from Brahma's four heads), yet there are very little if any prayers are offered to this god. It is said that it was because of lord Brahma's ego, Lord Shiva cursed him so he would not be worshipped on Earth.
According to Shiva Maha Purana , once lord Brahma and Shri Vishnu had an argument on who was the most powerful amongst the Trimurti. The argument went on and on until they asked Lord Shiva to intervene. Shiva then took the form of a gigantic lingam made of flaming fire, and that went up to the heavens and also descended underneath the earth. And the one who finds the end of the light will be considered the most powerful among the Trinity.
Brahma took the form of a swan and started the search for the end of light along the length of ascending lingam. On the other hand, Shri Vishnu took the form of a Varaha (wild boar) and started the search for the end of the light along the length of descending lingam. They kept searching the end but in vain.
Shri Vishnu realized the fact that Shiva is, in fact, the greatest of the trinity and he admitted his mistake. But, Brahma thought that he could outdo Shiva with trickery. During his search He met the ketaki flower and requested ketaki to tell Shiva that he had in fact reached the uppermost end. Ketaki told Shiva that he had seen Brahma reach the upper end of the lingam.
Shiva got furious as he knew Brahma was lying. He cursed Brahma that he shall never be worshiped on earth. Also, the ketaki flower was cursed that it would never be used in any of Hindu worship rituals.! ✨👁🕉📿🌀🔔💛🎨🙏🏻✨
