New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today installed a sengol of the Chola Empire period near the Lok Sabha Speaker’s podium at the New Parliament Building, which offers prayers at a Vedic temple. Before worshiping, the Prime Minister also bowed to this 2500-year-old ‘Sengol’.
In fact, in the last days of independence, Narendra Modi decided to build a new parliament building in the lecture hall of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
Significantly, Sengol was handed over to India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the night of 14 August as a symbol of handing over power from the British. But Jawaharlal Nehru sent him to his ancestral residence ‘Anand-Bhuvan’ in Allahabad. Where it was placed in a corner like a normal ‘steak’.
Lok Sabha Speaker Yom-Biral was also present when the Prime Minister performed these rituals.
