Sengol: Meaning, History & Contemporary Significance
The Sengol (Tamil: செங்கோல்) is a ceremonial sceptre made of silver and gold plating. It was perceived as a sacred emblem of authority and justice. Originally presented to India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, on the eve of independence in 1947, the Sengol was installed in the Lok Sabha chamber of the newly inaugurated Parliament building in 2023
Historical Background As independence approached, Lord Mountbatten sought a symbolic gesture to mark the transfer of power. Jawaharlal Nehru consulted C. Rajagopalachari, who proposed invoking the Chola tradition where a sceptre—Sengol—was handed over by priests to a new ruler. Following this tradition, emissaries from the Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam, a Shaivite monastery in Tamil Nadu, journeyed to Delhi and presented the Shengol to Nehru in a sacred ceremony just before midnight on August 14, 1947
Design & Symbolism The sceptre measures approximately five feet (1.5 m) in length and is crafted with a core of metal (likely silver), sheathed in gold. Its pinnacle features a carved Nandi (the bull of Lord Shiva), evoking justice and righteousness—values central to its meaning
Journey & Revival After the independence ceremony, Nehru donated the Sengol to the Allahabad Museum (then part of Anand Bhavan), where it remained largely forgotten. Over time, its historical importance faded. However, in 2023, as part of the inauguration of India’s new Parliament building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi placed the Sengol beside the Speaker’s chair during a ceremonial installation—reviving its legacy as a symbol of just governance
