Inauguration is an act of starting a new operation or office and a ceremonial induction into the office or position. Thus it is a ceremony for the formal installation or beginning of a new office or a position. This term is usually related to political, social and religious offices. For instance this term is related to the political occasion of a president taking charge of his office and position. An inauguration is often lavish and done on a large scale if they are political in nature and an oath in public interest is taken during this function.
It is derived from the Latin term "inauguare" which meant "to take omens from the flight of birds". An approval of the birds was mandatory before the installation of a Roman official to any office or position. A formal introduction and beginning is also referred to by the term inauguration. In religious context also an inauguration ceremony had a lot of relevance.
