Again...It is NOT a part of Bhuddism...If it was BJP would change it...Just like changing city/street names...
As far as the EMBLEM is concerned, It symbolizes power, courage and confidence
It has four "Indian Lions", resting on a circular abacus. The emblem symbolizes power, courage and confidence. The abacus is girded by four smaller animals - guardians of the four directions: the Lion of the north, the Elephant of the east, the Horse of the south and Bull of the west. The abacus rests on a nelumbo nucifera in full bloom, exemplifying the fountainhead of life.
