Default Is the Hindu god "Shiva" the only god(in any religion) with multiple arms?

Do you know of another god or goddess with multiple arms?


Thank you.

Most Hindu deities are often depicted with four arms. The only non-Hindu gods I can think of are two spiders, Arachne (Greek mythology) and Anansi (West African mythology), though I'm unsure if either are technically gods.

Almost all Hindu gods have multiple arms. Parvati(Amman. Maatha), Vishnu(all 10 avatars OS him) and many other gods have multiple arms.
