It is a carving of four lions and the pictures we see on the currency notes are based on it. The lions, like the ones above, that we see on the notes and coins have a long history. The picture is the actual stone carving on which the National Emblem is based.It was adopted as the national emblem of India on 26th January 1950. It is called the ‘Lion Capital’ and originally it rested on top of a tall pillar. It was built in the third century BCE by Emperor Ashoka at Sarnath, near modern day Varanasi, to mark the spot where the Buddha gave his first sermon.
