The state emblem of Karnataka features a red shield with a white two-headed bird called Ganda Berunda surrounded by a blue border. Above the shield are four back-to-back lions on a blue circular base depicting sculptures from the Ashoka pillar. Flanking the shield are mythical lion-elephant creatures called Sharabha standing on a green base. Below is the national motto of India "Satyameva Jayate" meaning "Truth alone triumphs" in Sanskrit. This emblem draws from the royal emblem of Mysore and is used in official government communications of Karnataka.

Seal of Karnataka

11. • The state emblem of Karnataka, India is a red shield charged with
a white two-headed bird, "Ganda Berunda" and fringed in blue.
Crested above it, four red-maned, yellow lions stand back-to-back
facing four directions (only three are visible) on a blue circular
abacus with a blue frieze carrying sculptures in high relief of a
galloping horse on the left, a Dharmachakra in centre, a bull on the
right, and the outlines of Dharmachakras on the extreme left and
right as part of Sarnath's Ashoka Pillar. The shield is flanked on
either side by red-maned, yellow lion-elephant Sharabha supporters
(mythical creatures believed to be upholders of righteousness
stronger than lions and elephants) standing on a green, leafy
compartment. Below the compartment lies written in stylized
Devanāgarī, the national motto of India, "सत्यमेव जयते" (Satyameva
Jayate, Sanskrit for "Truth Alone Triumphs"). [1] This emblem is
adapted from the royal emblem of Mysore and is carried on all the
official correspondences made by Government of Karnataka.
