‘Victory Pillar’ in honour of Operation Sindoor heroes getting ready
Craftsmen in Thanjavur are constructing a 600kg panchaloha 'Victory Pillar' to honor the Indian armed forces' role in Operation Sindoor. The monument is expected to be completed within months and will eventually be transported to New Delhi.
Why it matters
The project serves as a symbolic gesture of national pride and military appreciation, commemorating specific counter-terrorism operations.
A panchaloha “Victory Pillar” being made by a team of highly skilled craftsmen near Swamimalai in Thanjavur district to commemorate the valour of the tri-Services during Operation Sindoor is all set to be ready in two or three months.
The Victory Pillar is a tribute of the Cuddalore-based Shine Indian Soldiers Welfare Foundation to the Indian armed forces.
The task of making the seven-and-half-foot tall pillar was entrusted to sthapathi Kumar of Puliyancheri, near Swamimalai, about four months ago. A wax model of the pillar was first made by a team of craftsmen, led by Mr. Kumar, who runs the Kumar Panchaloha Sculpture Art Gallery.
