sandstone

 * It was carved out of a single block of polished sandstone.

This language suggests that the block was polished before carving, which would be both pointless and unknowable. Perhaps better language:


 * It is of polished sandstone, carved from a single block.

State seals and emblems
About a third of the state seals and emblems are non-free images. Looking at the history of the page, displaying the other images is a continual drain on editor time - editors notice the omissions and put them in, and other editors notice the WP:NFCC violations and take them out again. I suggest that the article omits the state seals and emblems entirely. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:11, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Emblem of the Mughal Empire
The emblem of the Mughal Empire does not just only resonate with India, the emblem of the Mughal Empire is a part of the Heritage of other countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and also Afghanistan.

Therefore the Emblem of the Mughal Empire deserves a sepera te page where it's properties can be discussed separately. Fjgdh5 (talk)\\||\\~

Badrudin tyabji was died in 1906 as per Wikipedia. Then how he designed in 1947???? Chandu4747 (talk) 21:11, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I corrected the link for you.  Tide  rolls  21:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

History section was edited wrongly
The previous information was backed by only one citation. And that citation too was authored by the daughter of the person who was being credited with the design. The wide held view is that Dinanath Bhargava had designed it. I have provided ample citations which can be checked. Tayyabji had died in 1906. How could he be part of the process claimed in earlier versions? Moreover, the author of that citation claims that her mother just got the idea of it in brainwave. Seriously? The capital has been present since Ashokan time

The task of beautifying the original copy of the Constitution of India was given to Nandlal Bose (then the Principal of Kala Bhavan Shanti Niketan, Shantiniketan) by the Congress. Bose set out to complete this task with the help of his students, one of whom was Dinanath Bhargava, a 21-year-old student. Bose decided to include the Lion Capital of Ashoka in the Constitution. Bose was very particular about wanting the lions in the emblem to look exactly like the live ones and for designing the lions he picked Bhargava. For about a month, every day, Bhargava commuted from Shantiniketan to the Kolkata zoo (about 100 km away), just to study the live lions, their mannerisms, countenance, body language etc.

It was only after Nandlal Bose was satisfied with the initial sketches that he gave Bhargava the big task: Designing the emblem for the first page of the Constitution. On 26 January 1950, India adopted Bhargava’s design, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, as the national emblem. Trojanishere (talk) 09:29, 4 September 2019 (UTC)Trojanishere
