- The National Emblem has four lions (one hidden from view) and symbolizes power, courage, and confidence. It stands on a circular abacus which is girded by four smaller animals, which is symbolic of guardians of the four directions- the lion of the north, the elephant of the east, the horse of the south, and the bull of the west.
- The Bull represents hard work and steadfastness, Elephant represents strength, Lion represents bravery and the Horse represents loyalty, speed, and energy.
- The Dharma Chakra features right below the four lions, has 24 spokes which represent 24 hours in a day, signifying that time cannot be bounded and its passage is inevitable. It also provides the teaching of always moving forward in life.
- The abacus rests on a lotus in full bloom, which means fountainhead (creativity/fullness) of life. The motto ‘Satyameva Jayate’ inscribed below the emblem, which is a quote from Mundaka Upanishad in Devanagari script and means truth alone triumphs.
- There are other versions of the symbol as well. In Buddhism, the animals represent four phases of Buddha’s life and in Hinduism, it is said to depict the reign of emperor Ashoka in the four geographical directions and the wheel means his enlightened rule.
