Who Ardhanarishvara is

Ardhanarishvara is Shiva and Parvati as one body, half male and half female — the image of two principles that cannot be separated.

The 2 Mukhi is given to this form, which is why it is the bead most often chosen for marriage, partnership and harmony at home. It is not the same as the Gauri Shankar, which is two separate beads grown joined; the 2 Mukhi is one bead with two lines.

Common questions

Which bead is associated with Ardhanarishvara?

2 Mukhi. Attributions of this kind are recorded differently in different sources, so you may see other beads listed elsewhere.

Which mantra is chanted with the Ardhanarishvara bead?

Each bead has its own beej mantra. 2 Mukhi: Om Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.

These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
