The State Bird - Palapitta (Indian Roller or Blue Jay).
Lord Rama spotted the Palapitta before invading Lanka and vanquished Ravana. Palapitta has been chosen to put Telangana on the path of victory
The State Animal - Jinka (Deer).
Deer is deeply associated with Indian history and a reference to this graceful animal was there in the great epic Ramayana. It can survive in the smallest forests also. It reflects the mindset of the people of Telangana as it is very sensitive and innocent.
The State Tree - Jammi Chettu (Prosopis Cineraria).
Pandavas had vanquished a large army of Kauravas only after performing worshipping the Jammi Chettu. They had hidden their weapons on a Jammi Chettu when they had been forced into exile in the forests. Now, Telangana requires the blessings of the Jammi Chettu.
The State Flower - Tangedu (Tanner's Cassia).
Tangedu flower which is used during the Batukamma festival by women folk is the most appropriate choice as the state flower.
