Nandi (also Nandin) is the sacred bull calf, gatekeeper, and vehicle (vahana) of the Hindu god Shiva. Sculptures of Nandi are a common sight in the entrances of many Hindu temples dedicated to his master.
At some temples Shiva can take the form of a bull, known as Nandikeshwara, where he often stands guard holding symbols of Shiva.
