State Animal: Barasingha (Swamp Deer) 

State Symbols of Uttar Pradesh

The Barasingha, also known as the Swamp Deer, stands as a majestic symbol of grace, resilience, and natural beauty. Distinguished by its twelve-tined antlers, it embodies strength and elegance in equal measure. Inhabiting the lush grasslands and marshy plains, the Barasingha reflects the state’s rich biodiversity and ecological balance. Its gentle demeanor and noble presence make it a true jewel of the wilderness.
As a state symbol, the Barasingha represents harmony between life and nature, emphasizing the importance of conservation. Once on the brink of extinction, its revival showcases the state’s dedication to protecting wildlife and natural habitats. The deer’s regal form and calm spirit mirror the courage and endurance of the land’s people. Standing tall amid the wetlands, the Barasingha remains a proud emblem of the state’s natural heritage and enduring vitality.
