National Emblem of India

The State Emblem of India was derived from The Lion Capital of Asoka, located at Sarnath. The original emblem features four lions placed back-to-back on a circular abacus, resting upon a bell-shaped lotus. The abacus frieze showcases high relief sculptures depicting an elephant, a galloping horse, an elk, and a bull, separated by interspersed Dharma Chakras. On the front of the Lion Capital, there are three lions seated on an abacus, with a Dharma Chakra at the center, a bull on the right, and an emaciated horse on the left. Additionally, there are outlines of Dharma Chakras on the left and right. This emblem became the official State Emblem of India on January 26, 1950. However, the bell-shaped lotus design was not included in the State Emblem.

The State Emblem of India also features the slogan "Satyameva Jayate," meaning "Truth Alone Triumphs," written in Devanagari script beneath the image of the Lion Capital.
