Ardhanariswara is a compound word consisting of three words : Ardha, meaning half; Nari, meaning woman; and Iswar, meaning God. Ardhanariswara, consequently, is combined form of Gods and Goddess in a single personified form. For example, Har-Gauri is half Shiva and half Gauri. Similarly, Laxmi Narayan is half Vishnu and half Laxmi.
