Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located close to the top of Chamundi hills. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673), one of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore. It is the same maharaja who also commissioned the 1000 stepped stairway to the hilltop. The image of the Nandi was carved out of a boulder in situ. The Nandi is portrayed in sitting position with its left foreleg folded in an about to get up posture. While the image is in great proportions, the finer details are executed brilliantly. One can see many sequences of bells and garlands dexterously carved over the Nandi. With his ears pointed in rapt attention, the expression on the face is of a pleasant one. The whole image sits on a 4 feet high platform.
