In Hinduism, Chandreshwar is a form of Lord Shiva. He is the consort of Goddess Chandraghanta, a form of Goddess Parvati. The name 'Chandreshwar' can be split into Chandra-Easwar meaning "the lord of the moon". Chandreshwar has many names and one such name is 'Sundareshwar' meaning "the lord of all Beauty". When lord Shiva assumes the form of Sundareshwar, Goddess Parvati assumes the form of 'Sundareshwari' which indicates the feminine aspect of beauty and enchantment. Lord Chandreshwar is often represented as a very handsome young prince with golden complexion, adorned with sparkling jewellery and wardrobe, and has a very bright cresent moon on his forehead.

Legend
According to Purana, after a long term penance of Goddess Parvati (while she was doing penance, she had the form of Devi Brahmacharini after being the daughter of Himalaya as Shailaputri) to have lord Shiva as her consort. After years of penance, lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati saw each other by means of Kamadeva and lord Shiva agreed to marry the Goddess.

During the marriage procession, lord Shiva arrived at the venue with gods, mortals, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, sages, ascetics, Aghoris and Shivaganas, and he himself adorned with the ashes from the cremation ground (bhasma) and the whole crew looked so terrifying. Seeing this, the mother of Goddess Parvati, Mata Menavati fainted. Goddess Parvati then persuaded lord Shiva with the help of her brother lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Then lord Shiva asks mata Parvati that it is the marriage between us and what do appearance and costumes matter? But the Goddess replied that marriage is not only the union of two individuals but of two families, two cultures, two dynasties,... So it is very important to respect everyone's perception. This is one of the many messages that the life of lord Shiva and mata Parvati preach us.

By saying so lord Vishnu helps in adorning lord Shiva and transforms into the most handsome prince of the entire universe as Sundareshwar. Meanwhile Goddess Lakshmi helps in adorning Goddess Parvati and transforms into the most beautiful princess of the universe as Sundareshwari. Since Sundareshwar had a brilliant cresent moon on his forehead he was given the name 'Chandreshwar' and Goddess Parvati herself was adorned with a very bright half-moon on her forehead thus getting the name 'Chandraghanta'.

Since worship of Chandreshwar form is not prominent, the features of the lord is not clear. He could have two or four arms holding a Damaru (drum) and Trishula (trident). His mount is possibly Nandi, the holy bull.
