Nandi - Museum Replica of Panchaloha Idol

 Nandi is the sacred bull, vahana (vehicle), and gatekeeper of the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, symbolizing unwavering devotion, strength, and righteousness. Every Shiva temple features a Nandi statue, and devotees typically worship Nandi first to receive Shiva's blessings, often by making wishes in Nandi's ear or viewing the Shiva Lingam through his horns. Nandi was a great Rishi blessed by Shiva for his severe penance, becoming his chief attendant, first disciple, and the custodian of Shiva's wisdom.
