The Creator
Brahma
From him arose the cosmos, the earth, and the atmosphere. Brahma is the first among the gods, the creator of all, the protector of the universe.
The Preserver
Vishnu
Vishnu is the supreme pillar of the universe, who, by his infinite power, sustains and holds together the three realms of existence.
The Destroyer
Maheshwar
At the end of the Kalpa, the Supreme Lord Maheshwara, the consumer of all things, performs his fierce dance to dissolve the material universe back into the formless void.
