Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara.
This post will also answer,

Let us understand
the lifespan and responsibilities of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in detail to get the answer.
Brahma - The creator of the universe.
Brahma is the creator of the universe lives in
Brahma Loka.
- There is no father of Brahma, Brahma is self-born.
- Lord Brahma represents the Rajo Guna.

- Establishing the physical law and maintaining the cycle of creation in the world.
The lifecycle of Lord Brahma
One Kalap is the one Day of Brahma after that Brahma goes to sleep. One Kalpa includes one thousand Mahayuga.
One Mahayuga have four
Yuga, i.e Satya Yuga, Treta, Dwapra and Kaliyuga.
Brahma lives for hundred divine Kalpas; after that new Brahma takes the creation responsibilities.
Narayan is the protector of the universe lives in the Vaikuntha.
- Lord Vishnu is most dear to Lord Shiva.
- Vishnu is the first Lord in the Vaishnavism represents the Satva Guna.
- In the Trinity Lord Vishnu is the protector of the Cosmos.
- Several times Vishnu manifested himself to protect the Righteousness.
- Lord Vishnu lives in the higher dimension in comparison to Lord Brahma.
- Narayan is another most loved name of Lord Vishnu.
- Devi Parvati is Sister of Vishnu Hence, Vishnu is brother in Law of Shiva.
- Lord Vishnu belongs to Omniverse. Omniverse is a collection of multiple universes. Therefore, Lord Vishnu is everywhere.
Lord Vishnu lives in the second highest dimension; In one day Lord Vishnu works with hundreds Brahma's.
The collection of 365 days of Lord Vishnu makes one Year of Lord Vishnu.
Vishnu lives for hundred such divine years; after that next Lord Vishnu takes the responsibility.
SadaShiva manifested himself as the
Rudra known as the cosmic roar.
- Shiva is the primary god and represents the Tamo Guna.
- Shiva operates as the Destroyer of the existence.
- Worshipped as Mahadev, Great Lord.
- Kashi and Mount Kailash is the abode of Shiva.
- Shiva has two level of existence Nirakar and Sakara form.
- Shiva is the one who is most dear to Lord Vishnu.
- Goddess Shakti is the consort of Shiva.
- Shiva is the supreme being in Shaivism.
In a day Rudra works with one hundred Vishnu's which merges in him at the end of their duration.
Shiva has no beginning, no end; he is beyond the physical state of nature.
Nothing can affect him; Shiva is
Mritryunjay in the real sense. Only Shiva remains after the destruction of the cosmos.
Shiva is even the destroyer of the destruction. He is maha Sunya, infinite voidness.
No one knows what he does in the end. Shastras say that in the end, Shiva merges into deep Samadhi or the form of
Sadshiva.
That is the Nirakar form of Shiva which is attributeless and supreme. As the maker of the Hiranyagarbha, He is the one who is controlling multiverse.
According to the Vedas, there is no beginning and end of this cycle which is operated and managed by Sadashiva.
By getting moksha people can liberate themselves from this cycle and get merge into complete blissfulness, Sadashiva.
Lokas of Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara
Chandogya Upanishad defines everything
about all Lokas in detail including their positioning.

- Lord Vishnu Vaikuntha comes second in that category.
- Bramha Loka has third place.

Kailash is the highest realm in the universe. It contains many internal Lokas; Goloka is one of them.
In Goloka, several godly Nandi's, Nandini, Surabhi, Rishabh, Gau's reside there.
Lord Shiva's one of the highest devotees; Lord Krishna takes
care of the Goloka divine cows.
Shiva gave the power to Shri Krishna for managing everything in the Goloka. Shri Krishna is the supreme lord in Goloka.
Devotees of Narayan knows that Goloka sustains the higher position in comparison to Vaikuntha.
Goloka is the highest dimension of Vaikuntha; Still, it works under the concept of Maya.
The creature gets affected by worldly disorders like Kaam, Krodha,
Moha, Swatha.
There is a fabulous dimension which is above Kailash known as Mahakaal and Mahakali Loka. It is also known as MahaLoka. Sadashiva resides there with his
Adishakti.
No one is allowed to visit there, Only Shiva and Parvati in the physical form has the knowledge and strength to visit Mahakaal and Mahakali Loka.
Once upon a time, Indra asked the Lord Brahma who is superior in
Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara.
Brahma took Indra to Vaikuntha and asked the same question. Lord Vishnu took them to the highest abode from Goloka to
Kailash.
Shiva welcomed them and knowing the reason for their visit and get agreed to take them Mahakaal and Mahakali Loka to sort out their problem.
As soon Indra reached to the MahaKaal and Mahakali Loka his sins get purified.
Vishnu and Brahma saw countless numbers of Mahavishnu's, Krishna's, and Maha Brahma meditating on the gate to appease
Mahakaal and Mahakali.
Indra was not allowed to enter the Loka, and Shiva took Vishnu and Brahma with him inside the MahaLoka.
As soon Brahma and Vishnu entered in the Mahaloka; Shiva merged into Sadshiva, the eternal Lord.
Mahakaal and Mahakali fulfilled their wish of getting the truth. Brahma and Vishnu get blessed in Mahaloka.
They return to their respective realm knowing the secret that there are many trinities and universe, but eternal lord is one Mahakaal and Mahakali.
Most importantly, Shiva maintains the cosmic womb for each universe.
