Nandi represents the ultimate devotee: absolute patience, unyielding loyalty, and constant mindfulness directed at the Lord without a single moment of distraction. The Puranas teach us that Nandi sits eternally facing the sanctum entrance, completely blocking worldly distractions from disturbing the holy space.
