Nandi (Sanskrit: नन्दि), also known as Nandikeshvara or Nandideva, is the bull vahana (mount) of the Hindu god Shiva. He is also the guardian deity of Kailash, the abode of Shiva. Almost all Shiva temples display stone images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine.
Idols of Nandi Maharaj at the premises of the Shree Kalleshwar Mahadev Mandir in Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai.
