Thalapathy Vijay
Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay unveiled the flag of his newly-founded political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) at the party headquarters in Panaiyur, Chennai on Thursday. After the unveiling the yellow and red flag, the actor-turned-politician also gave a brief speech where he spoke about symbolism behind the flag. The flag features two elephants and a Vaagai flower surrounded by stars. Vijay explained the reason behind using that particular flower.
During the Sangam period, Tamil kings used to wear garlands made of Vaagai flowers to symbolise victory.
