Source: Wisdom Library: Śilpa-śāstraHaryardhamūrti (हर्यर्धमूर्ति) refers to an image (mūrti) of an aspect of Śiva. The Pūrva-kāraṇāgama states that the figures of Śiva in the haryardha-mūrti aspect should not have near them the figure of the Devi. The colour, according to the Kāraṇāgama, of the haryardha-mūrti aspect of Śiva is to be coral red.
