Lord Brahma is the creator god, and we are all his children. He is our original father and mother, and gives good wisdom, knowledge and courage. He is said to have been born from the Navel of Lord Vishnu, and due to that he is considered as the son of Lord Vishnu. He is only fixing our fate, and based on that, our life would go. He has got great powers, and is considered as one of the Trimurtis. Though there are only few temples dedicated for Lord Brahma, we can worship him in our home, by placing his picture in our puja room, and we can also worship him in the temples, since in most of the Shiva temples, Lord Brahma’s separate shrine would be there.
There is a famous Brahmapureeswarar Temple situated in Thirupattur, near Trichy, and it is believed that Lord Brahma had worshipped Lord Shiva at this temple, and got relieved from his curse. There is a separate shrine for Lord Brahma at this temple. It is believed that by worshipping Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva at this temple, our fate would get slightly changed, and the severity of our Bad Karmas would be reduced to a certain extent.

And the great sages like Marisi, Manu, Pulastiya, Jadabarata, SanathKumaras, Narada and the demigods like Daksha, SanguKarna are considered as the first born sons of Lord Brahma.
