Test your recognition of India's official national symbols, from the revered National Emblem to its cherished flora and fauna.
India officially adopted the Lion Capital of Ashoka as its National Emblem on January 26, 1950, coinciding with the Constitution's enactment. This emblem, adapted from the Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath, displays four Asiatic lions and bears the motto "Satyameva Jayate" (Truth Alone Triumphs). The National Flag, the Tiranga, was adopted earlier on July 22, 1947. On January 24, 1950, "Jana Gana Mana" was designated the National Anthem and "Vande Mataram" the National Song, marking significant steps in India's self-governance.
The nation's identity is also profoundly shaped by its diverse flora and fauna. The Bengal Tiger became the National Animal on April 1, 1973, underscoring conservation, while the vibrant Indian Peacock was declared the National Bird on February 1, 1963, valued for its beauty and cultural importance. The sacred Lotus, selected in 1950, represents purity, and the expansive Banyan tree, also adopted in 1950, symbolizes immortality. The widely cherished mango, designated the National Fruit in 1950, highlights its deep historical and cultural presence across the subcontinent.
