Trimurti

"Trimūrti (/trɪˈmʊərti/; Sanskrit: त्रिमूर्ति trimūrti, "three forms" or "trinity") is the triple deity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified as a triad of deities, typically Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer, though individual denominations may vary from that particular line-up. The legendary yogi Dattatreya is often treated as not only one of the 24 avatars of Vishnu, but also of Shiva and Brahma as well in a single three-headed body. The Om symbol of Hinduism is considered to have allusion to Trimurti, where A, U and M of the Om symbol are considered as creation, preservation and destruction. The Tridevi is the trinity of goddess consorts for the Trimūrti." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.05.2022)
