The National Emblem of Rajyaghar, also known as the Charsidhan Chakra, is the official emblem (prateek) of the Kingdom of Rajyaghar. The emblem has a State and Royal version.

The state emblem consists of the Charsidhan Chakra with a trishula placed through the chakra. The state emblem has many variants which are used by the Central Union Government, Supreme Court and state governments. The royal emblem, known as the Royal Arms of Rajyaghar, consists of an azure shield upon which an eagle holds the Charsidhan Chakra in its claws. The Shield is then surrounded by the chain of the Order of the Gryphon and supported by two trishulas. The coronet of the royal arms is the Rajyani Royal Crown. The royal arms are used by the Monarch of Rajyaghar and variants of the arms are used by members of the royal family.

The national emblem (Charsidhan Chakra) is made up of the pariprateek of the Rajana Family, the royal family of Rajyaghar, and a 24-spoked wheel which represents the unity of the Union States of Rajyaghar. The current design of the Royal Arms (royal emblem) were introduced in 1956, under Maharaja Krishan VI. Previously, there had been no distinction between the state version of the national emblem and the royal version. Since 1956, there is a more complex royal coat of arms for the monarchy which is designated as the royal version of the national emblem.

State Emblem

The State Emblem is a variant of the National Emblem and is used by government institutions throughout the Kingdom. The various institutions, such as the Federal (Central Union Government and Ashta Pradhan), Judicial (Supreme Court) and State-level Governments, all use further variations of the State Emblem.

The Federal Government and its agencies use a version in which the State Emblem is flanked by two pillars, draped in the national flag and topped by the heraldic version of the Rajyani Royal Crown. The Governments of Union States, known as State Governments, uses a version in which the State Emblem is encompassed within a seal with the wording of the seal being: Union State Government of [State]. The seal also bears the coronet of the Rajyani Royal Crown.

The Judiciary of Rajyaghar uses a version in which the State Emblem is placed upon a maroon shield held by a two-headed eagle, called Nyaykavak (Bearer of Justice). Nyaykvavak's faces look in opposite directions, representing the idea that no one can hide from it. Nyaykavak holds two trishulas which representing the royal authority bestowed on the judiciary. A balance of scales is placed above the it's heads, representing impartiality and fairness within the judicial system. By not being in contact with any part of the emblem, the scales represent impartiality. The emblem is used by all of the judicial institutions of the country, with their names placed below the emblem. The Supreme Court of Rajyaghar holds the distinction of its name being in both estmerish and matrabashi.

Royal Emblem

The Royal Emblem, officially termed the Royal Coat of Arms, is more complex. The current version was established by royal decree 21st June 1956 by Krishan VI in order to enable a distinction between the emblem used by government institutions, such as the federal and state governments, and the Monarchy.

Royal Coat of Arms

The shield, an azure heater, posseses a charge of an argent eagle holding in its dexter and sinister claws the charsidhan chakra in argent. The eagle represents the Monarch of Rajyaghar and its position in holding the charsidhan chakra represents the role of the monarch in their duty to protect, preserve and promote the realm and its peoples. The blue shield represents the maritime history of the Sanyukti Empire, later Naratha Confederacy and modern Rajyaghar and their status as maritime nations.

Two trishulas (tridents) act as supporters; representing the royal authority of the monarch, as trishulas are a common sign of leadership and authority in Rajyaghar, as well as a further representation of the protective role of the Monarch over the realm and to represent their status as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The shield features the insignia and chain of the Order of the Gryphon, the highest chivalric order in the Kingdom of Rajyaghar. The coronet above the shield is a heraldic depiction of the Rajyani Royal Crown worn by Monarchs on state occasions.

The royal coat of arms is reserved exclusively for use by the Monarch, the royal family, the Shahee Rakshak (Royal Guards) and the Mantriparishad (Royal Court) according to royal decree. The arms have faced criticism by both republicans and hardliners who believe that it is too heavily influenced by euclean heraldry and too distinct from native prateeks used across Rajyaghar.
