‘Sengol’ will be placed in new Parliament building

According to the information shared by Union Minister Amit Shah on May 24, ahead of the inauguration of the new Parliament building, the ‘Sengol’ will be placed as a major cultural symbol of India’s independence.

‘Sengol’, comes straight from the history of ancient India. It was presented to Jawaharlal Nehru, who was the first Prime Minister of India, as a symbol of the transfer of power from the British on August 14, 1947. It is thought that the word “Sengol” came from the Tamil word “semmai,” which denotes perfection. The magnificent image of Nandi, the celestial bull, is depicted on top of “Sengol,” a five-foot-long sculpture that stands for “nyaya,” or the personification of justice and fairness.

Meanwhile, according to the sources, as many as 25 parties are expected to attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building. Whereas, 20 opposition parties have decided to boycott the inauguration.
