Emblem |
The
National emblem of India is a replica of the Lion
of Sarnath, near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The Lion
Capital was erected in the third century BC Emperor
Asholsa to mark the spot where Buddha first proclaim'
his gospel of peace am emancipation.
The National emblem is thus symbolic of contemporary
India's reaffirmation of its ancient commitment to
world peace and goodwill. The four lions (one hidden
from view) - symbolizing power, courage and confidence
- rest on a circular abacus.
Four
smaller animals guardians of the four directions gird
the abacus: the lion of the north, the elephant of
the east, the horse of the souti-and the bull of the
west.
|
The
abacus rests on a lotus ii full bloom, exemplifying
the fountainhead of life and creative inspiration.
The
motto 'Satyameva Jayate' inscribed below the emblem
in Devanagari script means 'truth alone triumphs'.
