A ceremonial metal trident bearing the image of Goddess Bhadrakali, a stone idol of Nandi and a stone idol of six-headed Kartikeya (Image credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: Australia on Thursday announced that it will return three ancient Indian artefacts, a ceremonial metal trident bearing the image of Goddess Bhadrakali, a stone idol of Nandi and a stone idol of six-headed Kartikeya to India.The announcement came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Australia on a three-day visit, where he received a grand welcome from the Indian community with cultural performances celebrating the shared heritage and close ties between the two nations.Addressing the media, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that India would also repatriate the ancestral remains of an Australian First Nations individual currently housed at the Government Museum in Chennai.”I welcome progress to repatriate the remains of an Australian First Nations ancestor held in the Government Museum in Chennai. The ancestor will be voluntarily and unconditionally repatriated by India to their Traditional Custodians,” Albanese said.”In the spirit of friendship, Australia will voluntarily return several items of cultural significance to India, previously held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales,” he added.Describing the reciprocal repatriation as an important step towards historical justice, Albanese said, “Australia and India share a deep history, and we are building strong people-to-people links between our two countries. The repatriation of a First Nations ancestor promotes healing, justice, and reconciliation. I commend Prime Minister Modi for the decision to repatriate the Australian First Nations ancestor to their Traditional Custodians.”The three Indian artefacts being returned include:Metal Trident with Goddess Bhadrakali: A ceremonial trishula surmounted by an image of Goddess Bhadrakali, symbolising protection, divine power and the destruction of evil in Shaiva-Shakti traditions. It originated from the Sri Kasiviswanathaswamy Temple in Kollumangudi, Tamil Nadu, and dates back to the 13th-16th centuries CE.Stone Idol of Nandi: The sculpture depicts Nandi, Lord Shiva’s sacred bull and vahana (mount), traditionally placed facing the temple sanctum as a symbol of devotion, strength and dharma. It also comes from the Sri Kasiviswanathaswamy Temple in Kollumangudi and belongs to the 13th-16th centuries CE.Stone Idol of Six-Headed Kartikeya (Shanmukha): The Chola-period sculpture represents Kartikeya, also known as Murugan or Shanmukha, with six heads symbolising wisdom, valour and divine protection. It originated from the Naganathsamy Temple in Manambadi, Thanjavur district, built during the reign of Rajendra Chola I in the early 11th century CE.Earlier in the day, PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome and a Guard of Honour in Canberra. Albanese received the Prime Minister at the ceremonial venue before the two leaders greeted each other and attended the official ceremony.PM Modi arrived in Australia on Wednesday after concluding the Indonesia leg of his three-nation tour. During his three-day visit, the two leaders are expected to hold wide-ranging discussions on strengthening cooperation in defence and security, trade and investment, education, mobility and people-to-people ties.After completing his engagements in Australia, Modi will travel to New Zealand, the final leg of his three-nation tour.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday reprimanded municipal authorities in Delhi, Gurugram, Lucknow, Patna and Tamil Nadu over illegal constructions and sought reports on the action taken to demolish or shut down unsafe buildings that pose a serious risk to public safety.A bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and R Mahadevan took note of the recent building collapse in Delhi’s Saket and fire incidents in Malviya Nagar and Lucknow’s Aliganj. It directed the constitution of a special team comprising two senior professors from IIT Delhi and two draftsmen to conduct a time-bound ground survey of Saket, Malviya Nagar and Lajpat Nagar.The officials concerned have also been directed to remain physically present before the court on the next date of hearing on August 4.”We make it clear that there should be no slackness with regard to the committee giving an honest report. If any doubt is raised, we may send a special team from this Court to ensure the honesty of the report,” the apex court said.The bench also warned that accountability would be fixed if authorities failed to act.”We indicate that if, on the next date, we find that no action has been taken, straightaway responsibility would be fixed upon the CEO of the said authority,” it added.Agreeing with the amicus curiae’s submission that authorities were adopting a “face-saving approach” by arresting only builders after building collapses and fire incidents, while taking no action against officials responsible for failing to curb illegal constructions, the court directed the authorities to disclose in their reports the names of senior officials accountable for such failures.In its May 20 order, the court had directed the authorities to take “immediate and effective measures”, including sealing and demolition, against illegal and unauthorised constructions identified during surveys. It had also directed them to disclose the action taken through affidavits personally affirmed by the heads of the authorities concerned.Get the latest India news and live updates.
