During the 20th Kalpa named ‘Rakta’ (blood), the complexion of Lord Brahma turned red, while he was busy in his deep meditation. That time, an entity was born whose complexion was also red. Lord Brahma named him Namdeva considering him to be an incarnation of Shiva. Later on, four sons were born to Namdeva. Their names were – Viraj, Viwah, Vishok and Vishwabhavan. All of them had a red complexion.
