Handcrafted Nandi Statue is made of pure solidified mercury (Parad) with 8 Sanskars (8 stage of Purification done as per Parad Sanmhita). Nandi is usually depicted as a bull which also serves as the mount to the god Shiva. According to Saivite siddhantic tradition, he is considered as the chief guru of eight disciples of Nandinatha Sampradaya - Sanaka, Sanatana, Sanandana, Sanatkumara, Tirumular, Vyagrapada, Patanjali and Sivayoga Muni who were send to eight directions to spread the wisdom of Shaivism.

The worship of Shiva and Nandi can be traced to even Indus Valley Civilization time period. The famous 'Pasupati Seal' depicts a seated figure which is usually identified as Shiva and there were so many bull seals were found in Mohenjo daro and Harappa that led to conclude the researchers it might be the origin of Bull - cum - Nandi worship.

Mercury Shivlingam is said that Parad is the most beloved of Lord Shiva. According to the scriptures, the Shivling of Parad is considered as the self-sacrificing symbol of Shiva. Where Shiva is worshiped, Lord Mahadev lives in the same place. In Vedic scriptures, Parad is considered as the form of Lord Shiva. It has been accepted as a symbol of his semen giving birth to the universe.
