Trimūrṭi

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 10: Swastika to Zyrianovsk and Index, p. 295

Trimūrṭi (from the Sanskrit tri, 'three,' and mūrṭi, 'form') is the name of the Hindu triad, or the gods Brahman (masculine), Vishnu, and Siva, when thought of as an inseparable unity, though three in form. When represented, the Trimūrṭi is one body with three heads—in the middle that of Brahman, at its right that of Vishnu, and at its left that of Siva. The symbol of the Trimūrṭi is the mystical syllable Om (q.v.)
