Sengol is a Tamil word that means "righteousness" or "justice."
It is a golden sceptre that was used by the Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu to symbolize the transfer of power from one ruler to another.
On August 14, 1947, Sengol was presented to India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, by Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India.
The presentation of Sengol marked the formal transfer of power from the British to the Indians.
Sengol is now on display in the new Parliament building in New Delhi.
It is a symbol of India's independence and its commitment to justice and righteousness.
Here are some additional details about the history of Sengol:
The Chola dynasty was a powerful empire that ruled over much of South India from the 9th to the 13th centuries.
The Cholas were known for their military prowess, their artistic and architectural achievements, and their strong sense of justice.
Sengol was one of the most important symbols of Chola power.
It was used on ceremonial occasions to mark the transfer of power from one ruler to another.
The presentation of Sengol to Jawaharlal Nehru on August 14, 1947, was a symbolic gesture that marked the end of British rule in India and the beginning of a new era of independence.
Sengol is now on display in the new Parliament building in New Delhi.
It is a reminder of India's long and rich history and its commitment to justice and righteousness.
