Down in Fraggle Rock

If one arranges the characters of Fraggle Rock against the Hindi cosmology, then an interesting relationship might be noticed

The Gorgs, being the growers, can be identified with Brahma the creator. (this is further stressed by how, if they can't grow radishes anymore they will disappear)
The Doozers, being the constructors and maintainers, can be identified with Vishnu.
The Fraggles, being all chaotic and dancey and destructive of both the Gorgs' radishes and the Doozers' radish structures, can be identified with Shiva.
