| Nandi, which means âgiving delightâ or âgiving joy,â is the sacred bull of the Hindu god Shiva, one of the most important Hindu gods. When the world becomes evil, Shiva destroys it to make way for beneficial change. Nandi is Shivaâs animal form, his means of transportation, and his most ardent worshiper. In Sanskrit, the name Nandi signifies âone who brings joy and satisfactionâ. He is also known as Nandi Deva or Nandikeshvara. This sacred bull, who happens to be Lord Shivaâs vehicle or vahana, is also one of the chief Shiva Ganas, the Lord's celestial attendants. According to Hindu mythology, Nand is also the one entrusted with the duty of protecting Kailash, Shiva's mountainous dwelling. |
