Nandi (bull)
Nandi ((サンスクリット:नन्दि), (タミル語:நந்தி), (カンナダ語:ನಂದಿ), (テルグ語:న౦ది)) is the name for the bull which serves as the mount (Sanskrit: ''Vahana'') of the god Shiva and as the gatekeeper of Shiva and Parvati. In Hindu Religion, he is the chief guru of eighteen masters (18 Siddhar ) including Patanjali and Thirumular.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=18 - SIDDHAS DETAILS )〕 Temples venerating Shiva display stone images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine. There are also a number of temples dedicated solely to Nandi.
The application of the name Nandi to the bull (Sanskrit: ''vṛṣabha'') is in fact a development of recent centuries, as Gouriswar Bhattacharya has documented in an illustrated article entitled "Nandin and Vṛṣabha".〔Gouriswar Bhattacharya, "Nandin and Vṛṣabha", ''Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft'', Supplement III,2, XIX. Deutscher Orientalistentag, 1977, pp. 1543-1567.〕 The name Nandi was earlier widely used instead for an anthropomorphic deity who was one of Shiva’s two door-keepers, the other being Mahākāla. The doorways of pre-tenth-century North Indian temples are frequently flanked by images of Mahākāla and Nandi, and it is in this role of Shiva’s watchman that Nandi figures in Kālidāsa’s poem the ''Kumārasambhava''.
==Etymology==
The word “Nandi” is derived from the ancient Indian Language of Sanskrit. The Sanskrit word 'Nandi' in English translates as Happy, Joyous or Happy Person.〔http://www.citypatriots.com/asia/india/tamil-nadu/madurai/nandi-statue〕
Another theory is the word Nandi is derived from Tamil word "Pandi" meaning bull.Ancient Tamils, considered the bull as a sign of masculinity and valor.〔The primary classical language of the world By Ñānamuttan̲ Tēvanēyan̲〕
