History & tradition
The Nandi Temple is in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, and is dedicated to Nandi, the bull who is the mount of Shiva. In Shiva temples it is customary for a stone image of the seated Nandi to face the deity, and this shrine follows that custom on a large scale: it stands directly opposite the Vishvanatha Temple, which is dedicated to Shiva. It is one of the monuments of the Khajuraho Group, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
