Description
The dualities of man and female are symbolised by Ardhnarishwar. Since Ardhnarishwar is a combination of “half Lord Shiva and half Goddess Shakti,” it symbolises the love that binds Lord Shiva and his bride Parvati Ji. Ardhnarishwar literally translates to “the Lord who is half woman.” This manifestation of Lord Shiva represents the culmination of the “Saakar roop,” placing equal value on God and the Goddess. The Lingam Purana states that one can achieve salvation and unity with the universe by worshipping the Ardhnarishwar form of Lord Shiva. This puja symbolises the value of equality in society and helps preserve the love between partners.
