NANDI GAN
Though it was Parvati who was His inseparable self, another being also loved to be by His side, at all times. Nandi. Nandi was Shiva’s vahan.He was His most faithful attendant.
And Nandi had been declared by Shiva as the chief denizen, the Top Gana. Nandi was His best friend, His loyal devotee, and His vehicle for transport, all rolled into one.
He was Shiva’s ride, so to speak, but even when they were not journeying, Nandi would seat himself at the outer gates of Shiva’s chamber; He thought of himself as a guard, and was indeed, the most formidable obstacle to anyone who wanted to reach Shiva.
He was never off duty.
