PM Modi is set to install the historic scepter "Sengol" inside the new Parliament building on the occasion of its inaugural ceremony on Sunday. "Sengol" originated from the Tamil word "Semmai," which means righteousness. Reportedly, the ceremonial staff is gold-plated, weighs about 800 grams, and is five feet in height. The scepter has Lord Shiva's bull, Nandi, on top of it to symbolize justice.
