Which of the Hindu deities destroy the universe?

In Hinduism, the deity responsible for the destruction of the universe is Lord Shiva, particularly in his aspect known as Rudra. He is part of the holy trinity (Trimurti), which includes Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Shiva's destruction is not seen as a negative force; rather, it is viewed as a necessary part of the cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution, allowing for regeneration and renewal in the universe.
