Opposition leaders have also criticised the government, saying that the new depiction of the emblem – adapted from the Lion Capital of Ashoka, a sculpture that was on top of one of the several pillars erected by Emperor Ashoka during his reign in 250BC – was a “brazen insult to India’s national symbol”.
“Sense of proportion and perspective. Beauty is famously regarded as lying in the eyes of the beholder. So is the case with calm and anger. The original Sarnath Emblem is 1.6-metre high whereas the emblem on the top of the new parliament building is huge at 6.5 metres,” Hardeep Singh Puri wrote on Twitter, posting photos comparing the original emblem and the new statue.
“If you look at the Sarnath Lion Capital from below, it will look the same as the parliament emblem does,” the 49-year-old sculptor told The Indian Express. A senior government official called the installation of the emblem an “important milestone in the decolonisation” of the capital city.
