The State emblem of Bhutan (རྒྱལ་ཡོངས་ལས་རྟགས་) maintains several elements of the flag of Bhutan, with slightly different artistry, and contains Mahayana Buddhist symbolism.
| Emblem of Bhutan | |
|---|---|
| Armiger | Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (Dragon King of Bhutan) |
| Designer | A Mongolian artist |
The state emblem of Bhutan was designed by a Mongolian artist and it was commissioned by Ashi Tashi Dorji, the sister of the Queen Grandmother. The dorji was a weapon used by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhāva) to quell evil spirits.
The official description of the emblem is as follows:
The national emblem, contained in a circle, is composed of a double diamond-thunderbolt (dorje) placed above a lotus, surmounted by a jewel and framed by two dragons. The thunderbolt represents the harmony between secular and religious power. The lotus symbolizes purity; the jewel expresses sovereign power; and the two dragons, male and female, stand for the name of the country which they proclaim with their great voice, the thunder.
