Official emblem of the Government of Kerala, India

The State emblem of Kerala symbolizes 2 elephants guarding the State and national insignias. The state emblem is a derivative of Royal Coat of Arms of Kingdom of Travancore. The elephant denotes the supremacy and power and the state has the largest number of captivated elephants. The central part of the emblem carries Sree Padmanabha's (Lord Vishnu) Shankhu (Right Swelled Shell). Sree Padmanabha's Shanku was one of the most iconic emblems found throughout Kerala's history and was the official insignia of Sree Ananthapadmanabha Swamy- the National deity and emperor of Erstwhile Travancore. The crest is adorned by 1000 petaled lotus over which India's national emblem-Sarnath Lion Capital is found. Beneath the sheath, its inscribed as "Tamasoma Jyothirgamaya" in Sanskrit inscribed in Devanagari script, which translated to "May light spells away darkness". This was the official wordings of erstwhile Travancore Government.

Currently this emblem is in sole possession to use for Government purposes. A slightly modified logo of this, eliminating the Sarnath Lion Capital, is used by Travancore Royal Family for its official purposes, though commonly the Imperial Insignia of Shanku is used more commonly.
