Trimurti

try-moor-tee

Explanation

This refers to three Hindu Gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Together they represent and control the three universal powers of creation, preservation and destruction.

Context

Hindus have different views about the nature of the Trimurti – some do not acknowledge it as a useful idea – though most ascribe particular powers to one or more of the deities and most forms of God in Hinduism are related to them in some way.
