NANDI
Hindu Fertility God
Also known as Nandin, Nandisa
SHIVA's pet white Bull God
He is Shiva’s right-hand bovine and stands guarding him in temple situations.
Of course, being a bull, there is a fertility connection. That explains why Shiva acolytes need to touch his testicles before entering.
If you’re thinking of upgrading your home’s front door, bull’s balls might make an interesting alternative to doorbells or lions-head doorknockers.
