List of Indian state symbols

This is a list of the symbols of the states and union territories of India. Each state and union territory has a unique set of official symbols, usually a state emblem, an animal, a bird, a flower and a tree. A second animal (fish, butterfly, reptile, aquatic animal or heritage animal) sometimes appears, as do fruits and other plants, and there are some state songs and state mottos. Several states now also maintain a dedicated stand-alone article of their own state symbols (linked under each heading below via {{main}}), which generally carry fuller sourcing, bilingual naming and scientific names; this master list follows the same Title/Symbol/Image/Notes format for consistency and transcludes those articles' tables directly where available.
