Seal of Goa
The Coat of arms of Goa

The Coat of arms of Goa is the official logo of the Government of Goa, a state of India. [1] The seal depicts a "Vriksha Deep", a type of divaa lamp, at its centre. The lamp represents enlightenment through knowledge and is surrounded by a stylized design of coconut leaves which represent the bountiful and beautiful aspects of Goa. A Sanskrit shloka appears above the lamp and can be translated as "Let everyone enjoy prosperity, Let none suffer any pain". The crest is formed by the National Emblem of India, the Lions of Sarnath, and the arms are supported by two open hands.
