About Ardhanareeshwara Puja
Ardhanareeshwara Puja is a devotional worship dedicated to Ardhanareeshwara (Shiva-Shakti unified), performed with shodashopachara (sixteen-fold honoring), mantra invocation, abhisheka where applicable, archana, and naivedya. A traditional puja to Ardhanareeshwara — Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in a single form — for inner balance, marital harmony, and removal of mangalya doshas.
