Since my childhood we were taught by our parents that there are 33 Koti (crore or 10 million) Gods in Hinduism.
33 koti gods = 8 Vasus + 11 Rudras + 12 Adityas + Indra and Prajapati ( 8+ 11 + 12 + 2 = 33)
If we consider koti means prakar {kind} 33 crores is the complete population of devatas.
8 vasu :- water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Sky, Moon, Stars, sun
11 - Rudras :- The ten Pranas (Praana, Apaana, Vyaana, Samaana, Udaana, Naag, Kurma, Krikal, Devadutta and Dhananjaya)
12 Adityaa :- Vivasvan, Aryaman, Tvashta, Savitr, Bhaga, Dhata, Mitra, Varuna, Amsa, Pushan, Indra and Vishnu (in the form of Vamana)
