Seattle: More than 130 years after Swami Vivekananda delivered his landmark speech at the 1893 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago, a new monument dedicated to the revered spiritual leader has been unveiled in the heart of downtown Seattle.
The city of Seattle is hosting this special tribute, presented as a gift from the Government of India, symbolising the enduring influence of Swami Vivekananda’s message of universal tolerance, spiritual harmony, and interfaith dialogue.
Sharing glimpses of the unveiling ceremony, officials highlighted the significance of the monument as a cultural and spiritual landmark for the Indian community and the wider public in Seattle, reinforcing the deepening cultural and people‑to‑people ties between India and the United States.
