Why does Lord Brahma has no temple except one in North India?

Brahma is not one identity like Mahesh or Vishnu. Brahma is a title or station so there have been many, many brahmas throughout time. I think, and I could be wrong on this, but our current Brahma is the demon king, Bali who showed such great respect to Vishnu he was rewarded with the station.

Now the reason very, very few people worship the station of Brahma is because of a punishment cast on one of them. Brahma created his daughter, Sarasvati. He then lusted after her and eventually raped her. As a punishment Brahma is not to be worshiped and all temples were destroyed but one.

Aum Hari Aum!

Lord brahma was cursed by sage brigu that he will have no temples on earth, the one that exists was before the curse. Sage brigu was entrusted was the task of finding who amongst brahma , shiva and vishnu is the greatest. As a result he purposely insulted each of them to see who Is most virtous . He first went to Brahma was being served by his wife saraswati, brigu did not offer the necessary respects to Brahma. As a result the god became angry and but saraswati calmed him. Brgru then uttered the curse. Then he went to shiva who immediately woke up to embrace him. But brigru said, "do not touch me because you are unclean because you spread the ashes of the dead on on your person. Shiva responsded by taking up his trident ready to kill but parvati his wife appealed to his mercy. Brigru then said " from this day forth you will be worshiped as a lingum. Finally he proceeded to vishnu who was so pleased with the service of his wife that he did not even realize that brigru had come to see him. The sage immediately rushed forth and kicked him on his chest. Vishnu then apologized for his absent mindedness and offered him a place to sit while he messaged his feet fearing it had become sore. It was then sage realized that vishnu is supreme Because only the personality vishnu can forgive souls their trangressions while others will only place them in more distess.

Lord Vishnu during that massage ripped from Brigu's foot an eye representing false ego.

Yes, right you are , krishna prem, that was sage narada's plan (mercy) to sage brigru. After this incident Mother luxmi cursed all brahmanas that they would live without her blessings of wealth luxury...this "curse" was save them from becoming addicted to material life. Brahmins for sake of truth and showing all souls the true Godhead (vishnu) had Beg alms the rest of their lives afterwards. That is why no disprect should be shown to brahmins. However some brahmins suffered so much that they upon death entered the ghostly species of life, they are the most powerful entourage of shiva.

For sake of my future I respectfully disagree in order to uphold the name of lord Brahma, I say here that he never raped mother saraswati, it was rohini whose great beauty caused lust to overpower him, rohini changed to a deer and Fled. Brahma responsded by becoming a stag at which point shiva appeared and cut of the stags head which became mrigashira the star.
Thus saving brahma's name and fame.
At no point did brahma perform the act of rape. And any disprectful eye cast on brahma in this fashion like the six demigods that did. They incurred karma and fell from heaven.
