The concept of '330 million deities' is a common misconception stemming from mistranslation. The Sanskrit term 'koti' in ancient texts can mean both 'type/form' and the number 'crore'. Hindu philosophy recognizes one supreme consciousness (Brahman) with multiple manifestations.
The Upanishads, particularly the Chandogya Upanishad [6.2.1], explicitly state 'Ekam evadvitiyam' - 'That which exists is One, without a second.' Various deities represent different aspects and functions of this singular ultimate reality, similar to how sunlight can be refracted into multiple colors while coming from one source.
