Also some Hindu gods are depicted as being blue, multi-armed, elephant headed, etc.. So white and black Hindu gods might not actually depict what we think of as white or black people. I mean the person in the background of that picture has gold skin.

Usually the color of Krishna is known as "Savnla". Which actually means dark. We still use this word today in our language.

The God with the elephant head is Ganesha. He was beheaded by his own dad (one theory) and then later put back as an elephant head. This God, is quite popular and called upon before any new beginning. Literally a "Ganeshan", meaning worship for something new. Say a new business start, or house warming per say.
