Telangana became the 29th state of India at the stroke of midnight on Sunday June 01,2014, triggering massive celebrations besides an hour-long dazzling display of fireworks around the Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad.
The TRS, which spearheaded the separate statehood campaign for last 13 years, painted the city in pink — the official colour of the party.
The new state of Telangana will have a logo and that is unique. Two iconic monuments — the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam (the landmark of the region’s rulers between the 12th and 14th centuries), the fabled 423-year-old Charminar and the Ashoka emblem are emblazoned on it to lend it a popular appeal.
The Government of Telangana is written on it in English, Telugu and Urdu. While the national emblem – the Sarnath pillar lions – is embossed in gold at the top, Satyamev Jayate is etched in Hindi in green at the bottom.
It has been designed by Hyderabad-based artist Laxman Aelay.
Telangana will also have a state song — Jaya, Jayahe Telangana — which was played at 150- odd places several times over on Sunday night.
Written by renowned lyricist Ande Sri, it became a popular song at rallies and protests during the separate statehood campaign.
Only four of the 12 stanzas have been selected as the Telangana song.
