Samvidhan Sabha
4.6. The Indian Constitution and its Vedic Tradition
Governance and Rule of Law
This relief sculpture symbolises governance and rule of law, reflecting a confluence of ancient wisdom and constitutional values.
Kautilya represents the principles of justice and governance from the Arthashastra, while the circularly carved hands symbolise accountability and collective responsibility.
Article 14, which ensures equality before the law, reflects India’s constitutional commitment to justice.
Inspired by ancient assemblies such as Sabha and Samiti, this sculpture highlights the enduring legacy of democratic governance and rule of law.
