    prominent place in its history and collective memory. Shashanka's legacy is
    closely related to that of the kingdom that he founded, and the kingdom that rose
    and fell with him.
     Hindu trinity: Hindu Trinity : It is often said that there is a trinity of Hindu
    gods: Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer. But
    while Vishnu and Shiva have followers and temples all over India, Brahma is not
    worshiped as a major deity. Brahma is the personified form of an indefinable and
    unknowable divine principle called by Hindus brahman. In the myth of Shiva as
    Lingodbhava, when Brahma searches for the top of the linga of fire, Brahma
    falsely claimed that he had found flowers on its summit, when in fact the Shiva
    linga was without end. For this lie he was punished by having no devotees. There
    are very few temples dedicated to Brahma alone in India. The only one of renown
    is at Pushkar, in Rajasthan.

    Brahma - the Creator

    Vishnu - the Preserver

    Shiva - the Destroyer

    physical essence of a living being starts a new life in a different physical form or
    body after biological death. It is also called rebirth or transmigration.
