The official proposed emblem is a circular one which reads Government of Telangana on the top, has the word "Telangana" written in Telugu, Urdu and Hindi along the circle.
In the middle is the Kakatiya Thoranam replacing the "Poorna Kumbham" seen in the Andhra Pradesh government emblem.
That isn't all. Sources say that a new official song for the state has also been created. The song, Jaya Jayahe Telangana Janani Jaya Ketanam, will replace the official song of Andhra Pradesh, Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda.
Telangana met a nearly five-decade-old statehood demand on July 30.
Telangana, which comprises 10 districts including Hyderabad, was part of the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad and has a distinct culture. Its leaders had accused rulers from Andhra for doing injustice to the region in all sectors and going back on the assurances given at the time of merger.
Telangana will have a population of 35.38 million and an area of 1.14 lakh square km.
After the bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh has become India's first linguistic state to be divided. Carved out of then Madras State in 1953, it was the first state formed on linguistic basis.
