Trimurti Pillows
Description: From an original engraving The faiths of the World by James Gardner. Published circa 1860 by Fullarton & Co. The Trimurti meaning three forms is personified by Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer or transformer. Please note with regard to scanned antique prints there may be some age related marks or faults from the originals which will show also on any print ordered. This is inevitable with prints of this age & actually lends an authentic look to the prints.
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.
