'''India''', officially the '''Republic of India''' is a country in South Asia. It is made up of 28 states and 8 union territories. All Indian states have their own government and the Union territories come under the jurisdiction of the Central Government. As most of the other countries India too has a national emblem—the [[State Emblem of India|Lion Capital of Sarnath]].

Apart from India's national emblem, each of its States and Union Territories have their own state seals and symbols which include state animals, birds, trees, flowers etc.<ref>http://www.affairscloud.com/symbols-of-states-of-india/</ref> A list of state animals of India is given below. See [[Symbols of Indian states and territories]] for a complete list of all State characters and seals.
