Why does Hinduism have so many gods?

People often think that Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. They ask me, “Why do you have so many gods?”
Hindus worship one Supreme Being called Brahman though by different names. This is because the peoples of India with many different languages and cultures have understood the one God in their own distinct way.
Supreme God has uncountable divine powers. When God is formless, He is referred to by the term Brahman. When God has form, He is referred to by the term Paramatma. This is almighty God, whose three main forms are Brahma; the creator, Vishnu, the sustainer and Shiva, the destroyer.
Hindus believe in many Gods who perform various functions; like executives in a large corporation. These should not be confused with the Supreme God.
