Collection: Ardhanarishwar

🕉 The Divine Story Behind Ardhanarishwar 🕉

The Ardhanarishwar form — half Lord Shiva and half Goddess Parvati — is a powerful representation of the divine unity between masculine and feminine energies. It is not just an idol; it is a philosophical concept brought to life through sacred art.

According to ancient Hindu scriptures, when Goddess Parvati expressed her desire to always remain close to Shiva — not just as a partner, but as one soul — Lord Shiva granted her wish by merging their forms into one body. Thus was born Ardhanarishwar, symbolizing the oneness of Purusha (Shiva – consciousness) and Prakriti (Shakti – nature/energy).
