On July 11, Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed off a statue of the country’s symbol that was carved and put on top of the new Parliament building in New Delhi. The symbol has been made to look like the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath.

After a prayer, in which the Prime Minister took part, the statue was shown to the public. The design of the emblem was worked into the plan for the new Parliament building.

Key facts about the National Emblem Cast!

• The design of the national emblem, which is a change from the original, is based on the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath.
