Question

Myessay on national emblem of India

Answer 1

Every nation has a National Emblem which represents the authority of the State. Our National Emblem has three lions standing back to back. The lions are standing on a platform which has the Ashoka Chakro in the centre, a horse on the left and a bull on the right. Underneath the emblem the words "Satyameva Jayate" are written in Devnagri script. The words mean: Truth alone triumphs. This emblem can be seen on the coins, currency notes, postage stamps, govern­ment documents and publications. Our National Emblem has been taken from the Ashoka's Lion Pillar at Sarnath. The pillar has four lions standing back to back, but only three can be seen from any angle. Our National Emblem was adopted on 26thJanuary 1950.

Answer 2

Hey!!

The 'National Emblem of India' is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath. Sarnath is near Varansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Lion Capital was erected in the third century BC by Emperor Ashoka. The national emblem of India is symbolic of contemporary India's reaffirmation of its ancient commitment to world peace and goodwill.

In the emblem adopted by the government in 1950 only three lions are visible, the fourth being hidden from view. The wheel appears in relief in the centre of the abacus, with a bull on the right and a galloping horse on the left. Outlines of Dharma Chakras on the extreme right and left. The bell-shaped lotus beneath the abacus has been omitted. Usually inscribed below the abacus in Devanagari script is the motto Satyameva Jayate ("Truth Alone Triumphs"). This is a quote from Mundaka Upanishad, the concluding part of the sacred Hindu Vedas.
