Composer not quite meeting a Hindu god (6)

I believe the answer is:

brahma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a hindu god' is the definition.
(Brahma is an example)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for brahma that I've seen before include "god to many Indians" , "being worshipped" , "Hindu creator god" , "Heavy domestic fowl with feathered legs and feet" .)
