Particularly in Vaishnavism, the so-called Trimurti (also known as the Hindu Triad or Great Trinity) represents the three fundamental forces (guṇas) through which the universe is created, maintained, and destroyed in cyclic succession.
Each of these forces is represented by a Hindu deity:
Brahma: represents Rajas (passion, creation)
Vishnu: represents Sattva (goodness, preservation)
Shiva: represents Tamas (darkness, destruction)
In Hindu tradition, the trio is often to as Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh.
All have the same meaning of three in One; different forms or manifestations of One person the Supreme Being.
