Kundala (Earrings)
Meaning & Significance
Shiva wears two different earrings — one masculine (representing Shiva principle) and one feminine (representing Shakti). This represents the union of opposites in the divine.
The Story
The two different earrings on Shiva's ears — Kundala and Allataka — represent His nature as Ardhanarishvara, the divine union of male and female principles. They show that the universe itself arises from the balance of masculine and feminine energies.
