Nandi, which means "giving delight" or "giving joy," is the sacred bull of the Hindu God Shiva. When the world is dominated with evil, Shiva destroys it to make way for beneficial change. Nandi is Shiva's animal form, his means of transportation, and his most ardent worshiper. Sacred animals were served as vahanas or mounts for Hindu deities to travel on. Shiva and Nandi's association in Hindu scriptures and art can be traced to very early Indian culture, where dairy farming was the most important occupation, thus explaining the importance and sacredness of cows and bulls. Vahanas symbolize the energy and character of their deity. The white and yellow color on the bull represents purity and justice. Nandi is also believed to promote fertility, patience and deep meditativeness. Nandi, which means "giving delight" or "giving joy," is the sacred bull of the Hindu God Shiva.
