Popular accounts of Hinduism often mention 33 crore—that is, 330 million—divinities. Vedic texts also enumerate 33 divinities, while koti in the traditional expression has been interpreted in different ways, including as “crore,” “class,” or “supreme.” So 330 million is not a literal census of all divinities or a description of what every Hindu worships.
