The design is a faithful representation of the official coat of arms used from 1948 until the state's reorganization in 1956, encapsulating a significant period of Indian history.
Central Focus: The Lion and Sword
At the heart of the emblem lies the iconic lion-and-sword motif, a direct reference to the Asafia Dynasty, the ruling family of the Nizam. This central element symbolizes the Nizam's royal power and authority.
Islamic Influence and Symbolic Elements
The design incorporates Islamic elements, reflecting the religious identity of the Nizam. This is evident in the inclusion of a shield, often bearing a star or crescent moon, symbols deeply rooted in Islamic tradition. These elements speak to the cultural landscape of the state during this era.
Supporting Imagery and Color Palette
Depending on the specific version, the emblem might feature lions or tigers as supporters flanking the central shield, adding a sense of regality and strength. The color scheme is a classic combination of gold, green, and red. Gold represents the royalty and wealth of the Nizam, while green and red signify prosperity and the Nizam’s authority, respectively.
A Reflection of History
