A newly constructed sculpture of India’s national emblem on top of the new parliament building has drawn mixed responses from politicians, academics and even the public. The reactions range from bemusement to scorn and even outrage in some quarters.
The 6.5metre (21ft 3in)-tall cast shows four Asiatic lions mounted back-to-back on a circular disc. However, critics say the new lions look "ferocious" and stray from their original depiction.
