<Li> Savadi Trimurti Temple </Li> <Li> Thripaya Trimurti Temple </Li> <P> The Saura sect that worships Surya as the supreme person of the godhead and saguna brahman doesn't accept the Trimurti as they believe Surya is God . Earlier forms of the Trimurti sometimes included Surya instead of Brahma, or as a fourth above the Trimurti, of whom the other three are manifestations; Surya is Brahma in the morning, Vishnu in the afternoon and Shiva in the evening . Surya was also a member of the original Vedic Trimurti, which included Varuna and Vayu . Some Sauras worship either Vishnu or Brahma or Shiva as manifestations of Surya, others worship the Trimurti as a manifestation of Surya, and others exclusively worship Surya alone . </P> <P> Shaivites hold that, according to Shaiva Agama, Shiva performs five actions - creation, preservation, dissolution, concealing grace, and revealing grace . Respectively, these first three actions are associated with Shiva as Sadyojata (akin to Brahma), Vamadeva (akin to Vishnu) and Aghora (akin to Rudra). Thus, Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra are not deities different from Shiva, but rather are forms of Shiva . As Brahma / Sadyojata, Shiva creates . As Vishnu / Vamadeva, Shiva preserves . As Rudra / Aghora, he dissolves . This stands in contrast to the idea that Shiva is the "God of destruction ." To Shaivites, Shiva is God and performs all actions, of which destruction is only but one . Ergo, the Trimurti is a form of Shiva Himself for Shaivas . Shaivites believe that Lord Shiva is the Supreme, who assumes various critical roles and assumes appropriate names and forms, and also stands transcending all these . A prominent visual example of a Shaivite version of the Trimurti is the Trimurti Sadashiva sculpture in the Elephanta Caves on Gharapuri Island . </P>
