New Delhi: For the first time in the US, a woman of Indian origin is going to join the post of Vice-President. In this regard, January 20 is a very special day. On the same day, Joe Biden will take the oath of office, while Kamala Harris will take the oath of office.

Kamala Harris to take oath as Vice President:

Let me tell you that Kamala's roots associated with Tamil Nadu, India. Her mother Shyamala Gopalan, a biologist, moved to the US in 1958 for further studies. She married there and Kamala was also born there. Because of this, it is very natural to have a glimpse of India in the swearing-in ceremony that is going to be held on 20 January.

The making of Kolam in the online ceremony of Biden and Kamala's oath taking is also a direct proof of this. It is actually a traditional rangoli of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. They call it Kolam there. It is also important to tell you here that it is made on a very auspicious and special occasion.

This is the reason that the work of making it in front of the capital building is going on loudly before the swearing-in ceremony. The video, which has been composed by thousands of kolam compositions to welcome Kamala and Biden, is very special.
