每日一图：南迪（Nandi）

**Picture of the Day: Nandi Nandi is the vehicle of the Hindu deity Shiva. He is depicted as a young bull with a shoulder hump and small horns. He usually features at the entrance of temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to the Linga Purana, which is a Shaivism text of Hinduism, the sage Silada wished for an immortal son not born in human form. To have his wish fulfilled, Silada performed severe penance to Shiva. Satisfied, Shiva granted him a son in the form of Nandi. At the beginning of the Angkorian period in the early 9th century, Nandi was sculpted in seated position. In the mid-Angkorian period around the 11th or 12th century, Nandi was elegantly featured in rising postures.** **Follow us on: **[**Facebook**](https://www.facebook.com/CambodianessTTN/)** **[**X**](https://www.facebook.com/CambodianessTTN/)** **[**Telegram**](http://t.me/cambodianess)** **[**Instagram**](http://instagram.com/cambodianess)** **[**Linkedin**](http://linkedin.com/company/cambodianess)** **[**Youtube**](https://www.youtube.com/@cambodianess)** **[**Threads**](https://www.threads.net/@cambodianess)** **[**Tiktok**](https://www.tiktok.com/@cambodianess?_t=8nCThfAFnvj&_r=1)
