National Emblem of India
National Emblem of India
The National Emblem of India is the replica of the top portion of the Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath. It shows three lions with open mouths (the fourth one which is visible in the Ashoka Pillar is considered hidden from view in the State Emblem). There is Dharma Chakra in the center of the base plate, with the figure of a horse on the left and that of a bull on the right.
The view of the other wheels appears at the extreme ends on the left and right sides. The words ‘Satyamev Jayate’ from the Mundaka Upanishad (meaning ‘Truth alone triumphs’) are inscribed below the emblem in the Devnagari script.
The State Emblem was adopted by the Government of India on January 26, 1950. 0 0 0
