Nandi in Sunstone - I

Nandi idol is carved in clear Crystal with fine shape and details to end. 

Nandi bull is the Vahana or the living transport of Lord Shiva. As a matter of submission and humility, the tail is tucked in, and the feet and face are in repose. It is a charging bull made tame by Lord Shiva. Nandi represents a devotee (of Shiva) whose passions are under control and whose devotion to Shiva is perfect. 

A statue of Nandi can often be seen watching over an alter to Shiva or at the entrance of a Saivite shrine. 

So it is important to seek the blessings of Nandi also before one proceeds to worship Lord Shiva. It is said that a devotee who whispers his desires in the ears of nandi before praying to Shiva , gets his wishes fulfilled faster.
