Nandi is the sacred bull, gatekeeper and vahana (vehicle) of Hindu god Shiva. Their close association explains the presence of a statue of Nandi at the gate of many temples dedicated to Shiva. The word nandi is also used as a metaphor for a person blocking the way. It is important to seek the blessing of Nandi before worshipping Lord Shiva. Nandi is a symbolism of eternal waiting, which is considered the greatest virtue in Indian culture. One who simply sits and waits is naturally meditative.
