Sengol Featuers
The design of the Sengol is based on the traditional Tamil sceptre, which is a symbol of power and authority. The Sengol is made of gold and silver, which are considered to be precious metals in Hindu tradition.
Nandi: The top of the Sengol is adorned with a statue of a Nandi, which is a sacred animal in Hinduism. The Nandi represents dharma, which is the Hindu concept of Justice.
Goddess Lakshmi: The second layer is engraved with the image of the goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity. Her presence is meant to bring financial success and good luck.
Kodimaram: The stem is engraved with the image of kodimaram, a sacred tree that is associated with the Hindu god Vishnu. Kodimaram is a symbol of growth and fertility.
Together, the three layers of the Sengol represent the three pillars of a successful life: justice, wealth, and growth.
