The 9500-odd kg bronze -- to be mounted atop the new parliament at the heart of Delhi -- has been the focus of strong criticism.
The controversy over the massive bronze national emblem to be put atop the new parliament could be because of the angle at which the lions are being viewed, the artistes who built it told NDTV in an exclusive interview today. Also, part of the perspective is changing because of the enlargement, which is bringing every minor detail into focus, they added.
The 9500-odd kg bronze -- to be mounted atop the new parliament at the heart of Delhi -- has been the focus of strong criticism.
A section of opposition leaders have called it a menacing, snarling version of the majestic and graceful Ashokan lion capitol that has completely distorted its message of peace.
Giving it a political spin, many have demanded that it be pulled down. Others have called for legal action for the distortion.
