The State emblem of India is an adaptation of the:
Lion Capital of Asoka at Sarnath
The correct answer is Lion Capital of Asoka at Sarnath.
The lions represent the spread of righteousness (Dharma) in all directions by Emperor Asoka. The wheel (Chakra) represents the Dharma Chakra, symbolizing the moving wheel of cosmic order and the cycle of time, and also Buddha's first sermon (Dharma Chakra Pravartana). The choice of this capital as the State Emblem highlights India's ancient heritage, its commitment to peace and righteousness represented by Asoka and the Buddhist symbolism, and the idea of a republic built on truth.
