Sengol installed next to the Speaker’s seat in Lok Sabha
Right next to the Speaker’s seat in the Lok Sabha chamber in the new Parliament House, the sacred ‘Sengol’ brought from Tamil Nadu was installed. Before its installation in the new building, the high priests of various Adhinams or monasteries of Tamil Nadu handed over the historic ‘Sengol’ to Modi.
The Sengol is a gold-plated, silver scepter installed in the lower house of the Parliament of India. The scepter was handed over to India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru by the Tamil Adhinam in a ceremony symbolizing the transfer of power on the evening before India’s independence in 1947. The Sengol was kept in the Allahabad Museum for decades until it was moved to its current location at the inauguration of the new Parliament House by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2023.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched ‘Kashi Tamil Sangamam’ in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. This program is being held every year since the year 2022. The objective of this program is to re-establish the centuries-old relationship between the two oldest educational centers of the country – Tamil Nadu and Kashi.
