Educational Q&A
True honor is grounded in dharma: when the wise (maharṣis) revere someone, that public recognition—symbolized by the golden parasol—reflects spiritual merit and ethical stature rather than mere power.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes a scene where a person is being respectfully honored by great sages; in that setting a golden parasol shines conspicuously, functioning as a visible emblem of esteem and auspicious distinction.
