The new idol of the Goddess of Justice was unveiled in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The blindfold has been removed from the Goddess’s eyes, and she now holds the Constitution in her hand instead of a sword. This idol has been installed in the judges’ library of the Supreme Court to convey the message that the law is not blind in the country and that there is also provision for severe punishment for those who make mistakes.

Special features of the idol

The new idol of the Goddess of Justice is white and depicts the Goddess in Indian attire. She is shown wearing a sari. The idol also features a beautiful crown on the Goddess’s head, a bindi on her forehead, and traditional jewelry on her ears and neck. Additionally, the Goddess holds a scale in one hand and the Constitution in the other.

The message conveyed by the new idol

The new idol of the Goddess of Justice conveys the message that justice is not blind. It works based on the Constitution. It is noteworthy that the new idol was installed on the initiative of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud. However, it is not yet clear whether more such idols will be installed or not.

The significance of the blindfold

In the old idol, the blindfold on the eyes meant that the law treats everyone equally. The sword in her hand symbolizes the power of the law to punish those who commit wrongdoings. However, one thing that has not changed in the new idol is the scale. The scale in the Goddess’s hand symbolizes that the court listens to both sides carefully before making a decision. The scale is a symbol of balance.
