The National Emblem of Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় প্রতীক) is used by the government of Bangladesh and its agencies. The emblem appears on official government documents and currency.
The emblem was adopted shortly after independence in 1971. In the centre is a water lily, that is bordered on two sides by rice sheaves. Above the water lily are four stars and three connected jute leaves. The water lily is the country's national flower, and is representative of the many rivers that run through Bangladesh. The rice sheaves represent the staple food of Bangladesh, as well as the agriculture of that nation. The four stars symbolise the four founding principles of the Republic that were enshrined in the Constitution of Bangladesh: nationalism, socialism, democracy, and secularism.
