The '''Emblem of Jharkhand''' is the [[official seal]] of the government of the [[India]]n [[States of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hubert-herald.nl/BhaJharkhand.htm |title=Jharkhand |publisher=Hubert-herald.nl |date= |access-date=2020-03-15}}</ref>

==Design==

The emblem consists of multiple rings, in which elephants (the state animal) in green background in the outer ring, represent strength, wildlife, royalty and rich vegetation. The middle ring showcases, Palash flowers (the state flower), which are also known as 'flames of the jungle', representing rich flora, beauty and culture. The inner ring consists of people, in the unique Jharkhandi style painting, which represents rich history and strength of social bounding. The [[Lion Capital of Ashoka]] is at the centre, with the motto ''[[Satyameva Jayate]]''.

==History==
[[File:Seal of Jharkhand 2.png|thumb|right|150px|Previous emblem used between 2000 and 2020]]
The first emblem of Jharkhand was adopted on 15 November 2000 when Jharkhand state was formed from the southern part of Bihar. This emblem consisted of an [[Ashoka Chakra]], as depicted on the national [[Flag of India]], surrounded by four letter [[J]]s stylised as [[dagger]]s. The legend underneath, Jharkhand Sarkar, translates as ''Government of Jharkhand''.

In January 2020, the new [[Chief Minister of Jharkhand]], [[Hemant Soren]] announced that a new state emblem is to be adopted in the near future.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/in-maiden-order-hemant-soren-drops-pathalgadi-cases/article30427378.ece|title=In maiden order, Hemant Soren drops Pathalgadi cases|first=Staff|last=Reporter|date=December 29, 2019|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> He stated that the new emblem should represent the culture, tradition, history and future of the state and invited entries for a new design via a public competition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/cm-hemant-soren-seeks-suggestions-for-jharkhand-logo-120012600209_1.html|title=CM Hemant Soren seeks suggestions for Jharkhand logo|date=January 26, 2020|via=Business Standard}}</ref> A purported winning design, depicting a tree, was subsequently reported by several media outlets but this was later revealed to be a hoax.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jharkhandstatenews.com/article/grapevine/117/jharkhand-govt-gets-new-logo/|title=Jharkhand govt gets new logo - Jharkhand State News|website=jharkhandstatenews.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet |author=JMM Garhwa |user=JMM_Garhwa |number=1215157781218545664 |date=2020-01-09 |title=This is not the new logo of Jharkhand Government, the design is still in progress.
