Shera - The Lucky Charm

Shera - The lucky charm
Shera, the lucky charm of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, is the most noticeable face of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi. His given name arrives from the Hindi word Sher – denotation tiger. Shera truly represents the fresh Indian. He is an self-starter with a upbeat mind-set, a global citizen but reasonably arrogant of his nation’s ancient heritage, a fierce competitor but with integrity and truthfulness. Shera is also a ‘large-hearted gentleman’ who loves building friends and enthusing people to ‘come out and play’.
In Indian tradition, the tiger is associated with Goddess Durga, the personification of Shakti (or female power) and the vanquisher of evil. She rides her powerful vehicle – the tiger – into combat, especially in her epic and victorious battle against Mahishasur, a dreaded demon.
Shera embodies morals that the nation is self-important of: majesty, power, charisma, brainpower and grace. His athletic prowess, bravery and velocity on the field are celebrated. He is also a keepsake of the fragile environment he lives in and our accountability towards the safeguard of his bionetwork.
