Brahma Temple, Summit in Grand Canyon, United States.
The Brahma Temple rises 7,551 feet above sea level, standing as a prominent sandstone formation with limestone caprock in the Grand Canyon.
The first successful climb to the summit occurred on May 15, 1968, when Donald Davis and Clarence Ellis completed a 14-hour ascent from Phantom Ranch.
Clarence Dutton named this geological formation after Brahma, the Hindu creator deity, establishing a pattern of naming Grand Canyon features after mythological figures.
Reaching the summit requires navigating a 30-mile round trip from the South Rim, including multiple sections of class 4 climbing and significant elevation changes.
The formation channels water through two distinct drainage systems, flowing to the Colorado River via Bright Angel Creek on the west and Clear Creek on the east.
