All (major) Tamil temples of Shiva will include a Chola bronze called AdhikAra Nandi. It is a bull-headed man. Let me give some published photos from some books later. Mahisha many times is represented as buffalo-headed man in Indian art. Regards, N. Ganesan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
