Why not Brahma?

The Fact:
India has very few temples dedicated to Brahmā, as opposed
to
the tens of thousands of temples dedicated to Vishnu and
Shiva. Among the few that exist today, the most famous is the temple in Pushkar
in Rajasthan.
Mythological view:
Brahmā
is not worshiped because of a curse by the great sage Brahmarishi
Bhrigu. The high priest Bhrigu had set off to find the greatest among
the Trimurti.When he went to Brahmā, the god was so immersed in the
musicplayed by Saraswati that he could hardly hear Bhrigu's
calls.Angry Bhrigu then cursed Brahmā that no person on
Earth would ever invoke him or worship him again.
Religious view:
Brahma is Shapless. He is beyond quantity and quality. He is
often referred as
Prajnanam Brahma(Knowledge is brahma)
Annam Brahma ( Food is Brahma)
Aham Brahma ( I am Brahma)
sarvam khalvidam brahma( Every thing in this universe is
rendered as brahma).
Philosophical view:
Brahma was responsible for creation, as he will be at the
start of every cosmic cycle. He does not have much
involvement with the world or human spirits between these
acts of creation.
