The Coat of Arms of Muli showcases a harmonious fusion of symbolism and vibrant colours, reflective of the rich heritage and deep-rooted traditions of our princely state. Each element holds profound significance and a captivating history behind it.
The five colours featured in the coat of arms represent the colours of the Muli State flag (Light Green, Orange, White, Red and Dark Green) embodying the spirit and pride of our land. This vibrant palette serves as a visual tribute to our cultural diversity and unity.
Another emblem depicted in the coat of arms is the Chariot, reminiscent of the chariot in which deities were carried during our Migration from Tharparkar (Sind) to Muli. The visionary King of Muli, Laghdhirsinhji I, received a divine dream guiding him to establish his kingdom at the precise location where the wheel of the Chariot broke. Inspired by this celestial message, Muli was founded in 1215 Vikram Samvat (1158 AD).
One of the notable symbols in the coat of arms is the Partridge, revered as sacred in Muli. A significant battle was fought, driven by the deep reverence for this bird. The Parmars, the noble rulers of Muli, took a sacred vow never to harm or kill a partridge. Even during an era when partridge hunting was prevalent and enjoyed as a favourite pastime amongst royalty, Muli stood as an exception, where the protection of these birds was strictly enforced. Till date the Parmars of Muli do not shoot or eat a partridge and it remains a protected bird.
Written at the bottom is ‘Bhupana Bhushan Niti’ which means a Kings Duty is Justice or A Kings main ornament is Justice. May the coat of arms stand as a proud representation of Muli’s legacy, inspiring generations to embrace our traditions, preserve our heritage, and forge a future steeped in honour and reverence.
