The <unk> ( vehicles ) of the couple , Shiva 's bull Nandi and Parvati 's lion , are sometimes pictured in the scene . In vertical panel depictions , the celestial guests are often shown flying over Shiva and Parvati . While the gods are pictured flying on their respective <unk> ( e.g. Indra on his elephant , Agni on a ram ) and with their consorts ; semi @-@ divine beings like <unk> fly without vehicles .
