    Bronze Nandi Bull From The Deccan - 18th Century

    SKU:A02262

    £185

    This exquisite bronze Nandi bull originates from the Deccan region of India. Nandi is known for strength & virility - the name means “giving delight” or “giving joy.” Nandi or Nandin is the sacred vahana (vehicle) of the Lord Shiva, inferring his power as a procreator. 

    Devoted worshippers have polished this resplendent figure of a bull over time. Nandi is present in the home temple (mandapa) of every Shaivite and would be displayed in a recumbent position facing Lord Shiva. This Nandi still has remnants of ritual tika paste applied during daily puja.
