The State emblem of Bhutan (རྒྱལ་ཡོངས་ལས་རྟགས་) maintains several elements of the flag of Bhutan, with slightly different artistry, and contains Mahayana Buddhist symbolism.
The state emblem of Bhutan was designed by a Mongolian artist and it was commissioned by Ashi Tashi Dorji, the sister of the Queen Grandmother. The dorji was a weapon used by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhāva) to quell evil spirits.Fischer, T & Tashi, T 2009, Bold Bhutan Beckons: Inhaling Gross National Happiness, CopyRight Publishing Company, Qld, Australia, p. 229.
