Nandi Shiva Vahan Ashtadhatu Idol

This exquisitely crafted figurine of Nandi is in a seated posture, just like in His images and idols in temples. One of His forelimbs is slightly bent out, poised to take action at the command of Lord Shiva. This Ashtadhatu idol of Nandi can be placed facing the Shivling on your Puja altar.   

Nandi is the Celestial Bull and the Vahana of Lord Shiva. His statue is found in Shiva temples, sitting outside the main temple door which houses the Shivlinga, with His face towards the Lingam in submission. Nandi is the vehicle of Lord Shiva and also the guardian of the gates of Mt. Kailash, the abode of the divine Lord. He is a devout devotee of Lord Shiva and symbolizes wisdom, restrained power, humility, patience, protection, submission, and devotion. It is a popular belief that Nandi carries the wishes of devotees to Lord Shiva quickly, and you can convey your wishes to this Nandi idol.   

Ashtadhatu is a sacred mixture of 8 metals used for making Traditional Indian Idols and consists of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Tin, Iron & Mercury.  

Note: Gold & Silver are present in very small trace amounts.
