NANDI (IN BRASS)
Nandi, which means “giving delight” or “giving joy,” is the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, one of the most important Hindu gods. When the world becomes evil, Shiva destroys it to make way for beneficial change. Nandi is Shiva’s animal form, his means of transportation, and his most ardent worshiper. As a symbol of Shiva, the Nandi represents power, virility, joy, and delight. When carved as a free-standing figure, the Nandi is always shown in a resting position that emphasizes the calmer aspect of its power.
Here is a handmade sculpture of Nandi made from Brass that also makes for a great accent on your altar.
