Description: Trimurti is the triple manifested part of the supreme deity, in addition to the Brahman representations, making itself triple in order to lead the different states of the universe. Trimurti is composed of the three main gods of Hinduism: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, who respectively symbolize creation, conservation and destruction. The concept of Trimurti developed at the time of the so-called Puranic period. Although Vishnu and Shiva attract strong cults and worship, respectively Vishnuism and Shivaism Brahma tends to creep towards an absolute plane, as a creator God. Trimurti is often portrayed as a three-headed figure, owing to her incarnation in Dattatreya.
