Sanjukta Panigrahi -the original Ardhanariswara in Odissi

Ardhanārīśvara,  'the half-female Lord' is depicted as half-male and half-female, equally split down the middle. The union of male Purusha (Shiva) and female Prakriti (Shiva's energy, Shakti) generates the universe. Ardhanarishvara signifies "totality that lies beyond duality", "bi-unity of male and female in God" and "the bisexuality and therefore the non-duality" of the Supreme Being. It conveys that God is both Shiva and Parvati, "both male and female, both father and mother, both aloof and active, both fearsome and gentle, both destructive and constructive" and unifies all other dichotomies of the universe.
