Description

Nandi, referred to as Shiva’s vehicle is also the gatekeeper of all Shiva shrines. Just as Linga is symbolic of Shiva and Parvathi, the creators, Nandi is the symbol of individual soul and the energy essential for creation.
Nandi is usually seen in resting pose with reserved force. Here, Nandi is shown standing in defiance and the artist has used colors red and yellow to highlight active energy.
