Hindus believe in many Goddesses also:

 

Durga - Goddesses of Power and Strength. She is the wife of Shiva. According to a few scholars, she is the same Adi Shakti who married Shiva.

 Lakhsmi - Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity – She is the daughter of god Shiva and goddess Durga. She is the wife of god Narayana and is the goddess of prosperity, purity, chastity and generosity. Her four hands represent four spiritual virtues. She sits on a fully blossomed lotus, a seat of divine truth. She rides on an owl. Her palm is always extended to bless people.

Saraswati- Goddess of Wisdom, Art and Music. She is the daughter of Brahma and she was married by herself later. According to a few Hindu scholars, it is due to this reason that Brahma is not worshipped in any temple. She has sacred scriptures in one hand and a lotus (a symbol of true knowledge) in the second. With her other two hands she plays the music of love and life on the violin (veena). She is dressed in white  and rides on a white goose (swan).

There are many other gods and goddesses in Hinduism.
