The temple has a giant bull 4.6
meters tall carved out of a single rock. The Bull temple is dedicated to Lord
Shiva's vahana(vehicle). The statue of Nandi is flanked at the back with statues
of God Surya and Goddess Chandra on their chariots drawn by the horses. The bull
has a small iron plate on its head to prevent it, as tradition says, from
growing. It is a sculptural masterpiece. The gigantic bull measuring 4.57m in
height and 6.10 m in length is carved out of a single rock.

The sculpture of
bull is the holy deity in the temple, also known as "Nandi
Temple". The gigantic bull measuring 4.57m in height and 6.10 m
in length is carved out of a single rock. Poor farmers were left
stun and felt guilty. For their repentance they decided to build
a temple for the bull, to their surprise the bull was growing in
height. |
