Bragi

Bragi is a figure in Old Norse mytho-poetic tradition associated with skilled eloquence and poetry among the Æsir; Snorri presents him as a god of poetry and husband of Iðunn, while modern scholarship often treats the divine Bragi as a mythologized reflection of the historical 9th-century skald Bragi Boddason.

Brahmacharini

Brahmacharini is the second form of the Divine Mother (Mahadevi/Parvati) in the Navadurga cycle, venerated during the second day of Navaratri. She personifies ascetic discipline and sustained penance (tapas) undertaken by the goddess to win Shiva's consent to marriage.

Brahmadaitya

Bengal's most distinctive ghost: the spirit of a Brahmin who died celibate — before marriage, or having taken a vow of celibacy — whose accumulated learning and unfulfilled life persists. Unlike the North Indian Brahmpret, the Brahmadaitya is often passive or even helpful, but its presence makes any household it inhabits spiritually unsettled.

Brahmahatya (Hindu tradition)

A grave sin and entity in Hindu tradition, representing the act of killing a Brahmin. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Primordial (cosmic) instead of Ancient (deity-level), as Brahmahatya represents a grave sin and not a deity. 2. The article lacks an appearance description, which needs to be a)

Brahman

Brahman is the ultimate, all-encompassing metaphysical principle in Vedic, Upanishadic and later Vedantic literature: the ground, origin, support and goal of all that exists. It is described variously as an attributeless, ineffable absolute (nirguṇa) and, in devotional contexts, as manifest with qualities (saguṇa) without becoming a conventional cult-deity.

Brahmani (Matrika)

Brahmani (Sanskrit: ब्रह्माणी, IAST: Brahmāṇī; also ब्राह्मी, Brāhmī) is one of the Sapta Matrikas, the seven mother-goddesses in Hindu tradition. She is regarded as the Shakti (feminine power) of the creator god Brahma and is often identified with or described as a form of Saraswati.

Brahmaputra-associated spirits

No folkloric entity or ghost associated with the Brahmaputra River is documented in the provided sources. The available materials treat the Brahmaputra strictly as a geographic and political subject (a trans‑boundary river) and contain no descriptions of spirits, rituals, appearances, abilities, or warding practices tied to the river.

Brahmarakshas

The name 'Brahmarakshas' appears in published Indian folkloric indexes and in contemporary Hindi popular culture. In the provided sources it is attested as the title of a tale listed in a Southern India folktale collection and as the name used for a modern Hindi supernatural television series and for musical releases, but the supplied materials do not include a full folktale text or ethnographic description of the being.

Brahmarakshas

The most learned and terrible of spirits — the ghost of a Brahmin who misused his scriptural knowledge in life and was condemned after death to be both demon and scholar, haunting places of learning.

Brahmarakshasa

Demon-spirit of a Brahmin who misused sacred knowledge for evil ends — described in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the Brahmarakshasa combines the destructive force of a Rakshasa with the ritual knowledge of a priest. Among the most dangerous entities in Hindu demonology.

Brahmarākṣasa

A type of rākṣasa in Hindu tradition depicted in the supplied sources as the posthumous fate of a Brahmin who commits unrighteous deeds; other summaries describe them as demons formed by a curse associated with the god Brahma. The term thus links Brahminic status or Brahma with the rākṣasa category and functions as a moralized explanation for a Brahminic fall into a malevolent supernatural state.

Brahmayu

A former Brahmin who converts to Buddhism after an encounter with the Buddha, exemplifying personal transformation within Buddhist teachings. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial seems implausible given that there is no mention of supernatural powers or abilities; reevaluate as Lesser or Minor Spirit. 2. Appearance: Since no specific description exist)
