Hindu Mythology

The colorful deities and demons of India...

CHAITANYA

Hindu Commerce God

Also known as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

Poor mortal who became a poor god

He was born a humble mortal and became a social reformer. Later everyone realized he must have been a deity and he was elevated to a god of the poor.

However, he is really Vishnu in one of his many disguises. Possibly doing some money laundering?
