Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The Sengol is associated with the transfer-of-power symbolism used in the New Parliament context, and it is linked with the Chola tradition of South India. The Marathi-culture statement is wrong, and the 1947 presentation was by a Tamil Adheenam, not an Adheenam of Kerala. Therefore statements (i) and (iii) are correct.
