			The state emblem has a red shield charged with a white two-headed bird, [[Gandabherunda]] bordered in blue. The crest depicts the [[Lion Capital of Ashoka]] (also used as the emblem of the [[Government of India]]), on a blue circular abacus with a blue [[frieze]] carrying sculptures in high relief of a galloping horse on the left, a [[Dharmachakra]] in centre, a bull on the right, and the outlines of Dharmachakras on the extreme left and right as part of [[Sarnath]]'s [[Emblem of India\|Ashoka Pillar]]. The shield is flanked on either side by red-maned, yellow lion-elephant indicating the auspicious mythological character ''Gajakesari'', a hybrid form of two wise and powerful animals Lion and Elephant - a mythical creature believed to be auspicious and indicate strength, authority, and intelligence. The power of Gajakesari is believed to be upholders of stronger righteousness and spells much abundance and bliss. It also refers to the fortunate momentum or energy in Hindu astrology. A person having 'Gajakesari Yoga' in his astrology chart is believed to be conquering the world as per Hindu belief, same referring to a kingdom which justifies all characteristics of a conqueror standing on a green, leafy compartment. Below the compartment lies written in stylized [[Devanāgarī]], the national motto of India, "सत्यमेव जयते" ([[Satyameva Jayate]], [[Sanskrit]] for "Truth alone triumphs").<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.karunadu.gov.in/Pages/Default.aspx \|title=Government of Karnataka, India \|access-date=2013-09-17 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005085933/http://karunadu.gov.in/Pages/Default.aspx \|archive-date=2013-10-05 }}</ref>

{{Culture of Karnataka}}
The '''Emblem of Karnataka''' is the state emblem of [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The emblem is based on that of the [[Kingdom of Mysore]] and the [[Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom]] and is carried on all official correspondences made by the [[Government of Karnataka]].

==Design==

The emblem has a red shield charged with a white two-headed bird, [[Gandabherunda]] bordered in blue.
The crest depicts the [[Lion Capital of Ashoka]] (also used as the emblem of the [[Government of India]]), on a blue circular abacus with a blue [[frieze]] carrying sculptures in high relief of a galloping horse on the left, a [[Dharmachakra]] in centre, a bull on the right, and the outlines of Dharmachakras on the extreme left and right as part of [[Sarnath]]'s [[Emblem of India|Ashoka Pillar]]. The shield is flanked on either side by red-maned, yellow lion-elephant [[Sharabha]] supporters (mythical creatures believed to be upholders of righteousness stronger than lions and elephants) standing on a green, leafy compartment. Below the compartment lies written in stylized [[Devanāgarī]], the national motto of India, "सत्यमेव जयते" ([[Satyameva Jayate]], [[Sanskrit]] for "Truth alone triumphs").<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.karunadu.gov.in/Pages/Default.aspx |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-09-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005085933/http://karunadu.gov.in/Pages/Default.aspx |archive-date=2013-10-05 }}</ref>
