State Seal
The twin fish, the state symbol of Uttar Pradesh, is found on almost all ancient buildings. The twin fish symbol is believed originally from the Mediterranean states from which it travelled to and settled around Lucknow. The same twin fish symbol can also be seen in ancient buildings in Nepal, Pakistan, China, and Japan and the gate of royal tomb of King Suro in the South Korean city of Gimhae.
