Description

This image depicts a seated statue of Nandi—the sacred bull and mount of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. Crafted from a piece of red stone that bears a striking resemblance to red wood, the sculpture features intricate, dark-hued carvings adorning its ornamentation and base. Nandi stands as a powerful symbol of strength, unwavering devotion, and loyalty. Traditionally, he is portrayed in temples seated in a serene, meditative posture, facing the main shrine of Lord Shiva; this stance represents the ideal devotee's gaze, fixed intently upon the Divine. This particular statue is lavishly embellished with decorative bells, garlands, and a patterned saddle or blanket draped across its back. Revered as the gatekeeper of Mount Kailash—the abode of Lord Shiva—Nandi embodies patience, *Dharma*, and the human soul's yearning for union with the Ultimate Reality. Weight- 750 Grm.
