Nandikeswara is Shiva’s mount and one would find this image in front of all Shiva temples. Devotees worship Nandikeshwara first before entering the temple.

I have seen some magnificent figurines of Nandi in various temples during my travels. Sharing a few pictures here. These are huge monolithic carvings in granite and soft stones.

shall be back with more.
