TVASHTRI
Hindu Creator God
Also known as Tvashtar, Tvastar
The Divine Handyman who built the Universe
He is a creator deity who not only built the Universe but can also tackle all those pressing heavenly jobs.
He is a god of all trades, his job spec includes weapons, chariots, thunderbolts — and he’ll even have a go at a palace. Perhaps his most impressive work is Vivasvan the Sun.
Often listed as one of the Âdityas, Tvashtri is fairly abstract in appearance. He is sometimes seen as a disembodied hand — with or without a power drill gripped in its fingers.
Best of all, he invented a bowl of everlasting beer which can never be emptied. Strangely, not much has been heard of him since.
