Ardhanarishwar Temple, GuptKashi

Devotees who visit the famous Vishwanath Temple can easily visit Ardhanarishwar Temple which is situated in Guptkashi, Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand. The temple, situated left side of the Vishwanath Temple, is unique and one of a kind. lord shiv to whom the temple I dedicated sits here in an ardhnarishwar form which means a form of a half-male and half-female. The idol actually denotes the lord shiva and the goddess Parvati as one, representing their love for each other. The ardhnarishwar form spread the message of equality between husband and wife, men and women.

A metallic statute of Nandi ji, the bull vahan of the lord shiva, can be found sitting outside of the temple. built with stone the temple beautifully showcases the Himalayan architecture style.
