The national emblem is an adaptation of King Asoka’s Sarnath Lion capital. The structure, preserved in the Sarnath museum, has four lions mounted back-to-back on a circular abacus.
The frieze of the abacus has a galloping horse, an elephant, a bull and a lion separated by the Dharma Chakras.
Made of high-purity bronze, the emblem was designed, crafted and cast for over six months by over 100 artisans across the country.
