    If you mean the pantheon of the Indian subcontinent, then I can help. No our panthoeon is very unlike the Greek and Roman ones. In India, we believe that there are three of the Great Gods, or Father of Gods. They are Brahma(the Creator), Vishnu(the Sustainer) and Shiva(the Destroyer). These are the main Gods, and after them come the various other Demi-Gods of nature and the elements like Varun the wind God and Agni the Fire God. Rivers like Ganga and Yamuna are personified and are said to be the wives of the Gods. Ganga and the Great Goddess Durga are the 2 wives of Shiva. There are more, many more but these are the main Gods.
