VAHAN
It was dusk, darkening into a starry night, when Shiva awoke. He looked out of His window to see Nandi, His bull seated on the porch.
Again the thought, “What time was it?” He was sure He had seen a morning when He was awake last. And also, the year seemed to have been way in the future then, gauging by the vahans.
The vahans were an interesting thing. They were the transporters of Gods. Something more personalized than just a chariot, they were a sort of companion to the God they served. Asides from their ability to transport, they were a good parameter to gauge the time of the day—starting from animals, they morphed themselves into other beasts, humans, denizens and sometimes even metal or other elements. The more sophisticated ones could evaporate into ether form and travel into the future. So, one could gauge the era by observing the kind of technology that the vahan had.
