Lord Shiva is often depicted in a blessing pose seated on his Vahana (vehicle), Nandi the bull. This symbolizes Shiva's role as the ultimate yogi and protector of the universe. Shiva's serene and meditative expression, combined with his gesture of fearlessness (Abhaya Mudra), signifies his divine protection and benevolence. Nandi, representing strength and devotion, gazes adoringly at Shiva, emphasizing the deep bond between them and the themes of power and devotion in Hindu beliefs.
