==Design==<br />
<br />
The emblem depicts a "Vriksha Deep", a type of [[Diya (light)|diya lamp]], at its centre. The lamp represents enlightenment through knowledge and is surrounded by a stylised design of coconut leaves which represent the bountiful and beautiful aspects of Goa.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180722101821/http://www.dip.goa.gov.in/pages.php?id=9</ref> A [[Sanskrit]] motto appears above the lamp and can be translated as ''"may everyone see goodness, may none suffer any pain"'' ([[Devnagari]]: सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःखमाप्नुयात्; ''Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu mā kaścid duḥkhamāpnuyāt''). The crest is formed by the [[National Emblem of India]], the Lions of Sarnath, and the arms are supported by two open hands.<br />
