Demand to bring back Maharaja Ranjit Singh's golden throne from UK

Unlike European royal furniture, which is often simply gilded to replicate the look of gold, this throne is covered in thick sheet gold and is heavily ornamented. The throne's base has a distinct design composed of two tiers of lotus petals, a symbol of purity and creation traditionally used for Hindu gods in sculpture and painting and also referenced in Sikh scriptures.
