Nandi (the bull), Shiva's vehicle, is placed in front of the Shiva figure in the temple. Note the sign and rope telling the devotees, "Do Not Enter Beyond This Point." Since the temple has performed ceremonies installing the living presence of God into the figures and images, only the priests are allowed to serve the deities in the altar area.
