Yet scholars tell us that this "trimurti" only appears in Hinduism during the fourth century after Christ.

I don't know that it occurs in many religions, but as to its concept you might look at:

The Trinity concept has been adopted from earlier religions whose deities were depicted as being " all seeing" and were shown with three faces. The concept is NOT supported by the Bible. The word 'Trinity' does not appear at all in the Bible. If it were true, surely Jesus' teachings would have been very clear on the point. John 1;18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom [position] with the Father is the one that has explained him.
In this scripture, Jesus is termed a god, a spiritual being, but not Almighty God, his Father.
John 3;16 �For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".
John 4;34 Jesus said to them: �My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.
John 5;19 Therefore, in answer, Jesus went on to say to them: �Most truly I say to YOU, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner".
John 5;22 For the Father judges no one at all, but he has committed all the judging to the Son,".
All these scriptures clearly separate Jesus from his Father.
