The torch, Tejaswini, represents power, inspiration, and the pursuit of excellence. Its design, inspired by the majestic Himalayan peaks and the vibrant spirit of the State, carries the flame of sportsmanship and unity across Uttarakhand.
The official logo brings together iconic elements of the State, including the Himalayan peaks symbolizing grandeur and resilience, the Himalayan Monal representing biodiversity, and the sacred Ganga River reflecting purity and spiritual significance. A silver jubilee emblem further highlights the milestone of Uttarakhand’s 25 years of statehood, making this event a celebration of heritage and progress.
With over 35 sports on the roster, the 38th National Games is set to be the largest sporting event in Uttarakhand’s history. These symbols—Mauli, Tejaswini, and the logo—capture the spirit of the games while showcasing Uttarakhand’s pride, unity, and readiness to host a memorable event.
