Home > Trimurti


In Hinduism, the Trimurti (also called the Hindu trinity) are three aspects of God in His forms as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. In some local narratives, not held by the majority of Hindus, they were born from the world egg laid by Ammavaru at the beginning of time.

The trimurti itself is conceived of as a deity and artistically represented as a three-faced human figure. Brahma is no longer as relevant as he once was, some would say the all-in-one Devi or Shakti, the Divine Mother or power of God has replaced him.

According to the Trimurti belief, these aspects of God are simply different aspects and are one and the same God. In this manner, such beliefs are similar to the Trinity in Christianity.


Trimurti can also refer to the trinity of Carnatic music, that is, Tyagaraja, Muttusvami Dikshitar and Syama Sastry.
