Lord Ardhnariswari is a unique and divine manifestation of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, symbolizing the perfect balance of masculine and feminine energies in the universe. This half-male, half-female form represents the union of Purusha (the cosmic masculine principle) and Prakriti (the cosmic feminine principle), embodying harmony, equality, and interdependence. Ardhnariswari signifies the idea that creation and existence are incomplete without the merging of these two energies. This form is revered in Indian spirituality and art as a symbol of unity, balance, and the interconnectedness of all life.
Ardhnariswari Tanjore Painting
Thanjavur painting is a classical South Indian painting style, which was inaugurated from the town of Thanjavur (anglicized as Tanjore) in Tamil Nadu. The art form draws its immediate resources and inspiration from way back about 1600 AD, a period when the Nayakas of Thanjavur under the suzerainty of the Vijayanagara Rayas encouraged art—chiefly, classical dance and music—as well as literature, both in Telugu and Tamil and painting of chiefly Hindu religious subjects in temples. It is distinguished by their rich and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of glass beads and pieces or very rarely precious and semi-precious gems. They essentially symbolize ancient themes of traditional gods and goddesses.
