Nandi according to Shiva Purana is the embodiment of Dharma or cosmic order, who serves and guards the sacred space of Shiva in Hindu temples.
This 5-foot large granite Nandi is an awe-inspiring and realistic depiction of the mount of Shiva, alert and majestic as if anticipating the arrival of Mahadeva.
The sculpture is inspired by the mammoth Nandi-Mandapam in South Indian temples and the arresting presence of Nandi seated in them. Adorned with intricate bells, jewelry, rich cloth on his back, and anklets around his legs, Nandi is beautifed with fine details.
The stylized curve on his hump, the gentle smile revealed on his face, a soft fold of cloth on his back, and the realistic depiction of the hooves and legs of Nandi give the sculpture an animated presence. As you move around the sculpture to circumambulate and view the beauty of Nandi, you can experience the eternal joy flowing from his face, as a devotee who is always immersed in the nectar of Shiva-ananda (supreme bliss).
