The
Trimurti is a concept in
Hinduism in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the
forms of
Brahma the creator,
Vishnu the maintainer or preserver and
Shiva the destroyer or transformer. These three deities have been called "the
Hindu triad" or the "Great
Trinity". However, the
ancient and medieval texts of Hinduism feature many triads of
gods and
goddesses, some of which do not include Shiva.
