Ardhnarishwar Temple Mandi, Himachal Pradesh

Ardhnarishwar Temple:-


The Ardhnari sanctuary at Mandi is relatively a present day sanctuary. The right 50% of the stone picture in the sanctuary speaks to Lord Shiva and the left a large portion of his consort Parvati. Shiva has his run of the mill tied hair and wearing a wreath of skulls, a laced serpent, a musical instrument in one hand and a Damru or drum in the other. The perfect consort Parvati is demonstrated wearing a diadem, a couple of studs and a ring on the nose. The symbol is all around executed from all measures. There is a section joined to the picture on which the vehicles or Vahan of the divinities the bull and the lion, are masterfully cut. The pictures of "Bhairon" and Lord Hanuman are additionally there.
The sanctuary comprises of a cella, yard and a mandap. The carvings of the sanctuary are of a high request. Ardhnari symbols are fairly uncommon in Northern India and the vicinity of this symbol here is somewhat unusual.
