NANDIPADA
The Nandipada (foot of Nandi) is an ancient Indian symbol, also called a taurine symbol, representing a bull's hoof or the mark left by the foot of a bull in the ground. The nandipada and the zebu bull are generally associated with Nandi, Shiva's humped bull in Hinduism. The Nandipada symbol also happens to be similar to the Brahmi letter 'ma'. The Nandipada symbol saw later evolution, especially with branches becoming more decorated. It is sometimes associated or confused with the Buddhist Triratna symbol. The term is also often used in numismatics.
