Just wanted to share the exquisite and highly detailed carvings on the back of Nandi. This Nandi is situated Nandi Mantap infront of the Aghoreshwara Temple. The knot in the middle is called "Pavitra Gantu" which means sacred knot. this type of knot is used in jewellery designs in India.

This shot was tough to take as I had to take it from certain height and without climbing on the statue. My Nikon D5000's Vari Angle LCD monitor came to rescue and I was able to get this shot. All comments are welcome
