Henotheistic: believing in one supreme deity and regarding other gods and goddesses as aspects, forms, or manifestations of the One God. Hinduism is either a henotheistic religion or a polytheistic one, depending on who you ask. Or a monotheistic one (one Supreme Entity, Brahman). Or a trinitarian one (Brahma the creator, Vishnu the protector, Shiva the destroyer).
