I’ve noticed we see our manifestations of god as we see ourselves. That’s why our gods tend to come in different forms in the subcontinent and SE Asia.
Here is what I am referring to this is why we have them in all colours and shapes. Also I think I'm pretty "Northeastern" versions one is more Tibetan style. https://twitter.com/indiainpixels/status/1257643489296179201

The first one is Shri Krishna, and the other three are of lord Vishnu I believe. These are either Thai or Cambodian depictions of them.
Saraswati goddess Balinese versions.
Shri Krishna!
Some goddess, Durga, Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, and Chandraghanta
Kushmanda Devi, skandamata mantra, Kalaratri Devi, and Mahagauri mata.
Sidhidatri mata, The second picture has all of the nine goddesses that Hindus pray to for each of the nine days of Navaratri. And last picture is of trio Lakshmi, Durga, and saraswati.
Tārā Devi - the second of the ten Mahavidyas.
Fun fact: Dreadlocks or in Sanskrit (Jaṭā) have been mentioned in Hindu Vedic scriptures and they are primarily worn by Sādhu and Sādhvīne (holy men & women) in Hinduism. Lord shiva oke of our gods has them too.
Similar to what I said above on my tweet. Dreadlocks is a thing in Hindu dharma and even Buddhism. https://twitter.com/sadfuck99/status/1321200381712584704
