The Navy releases the new Admirals' Epaulettes design.

New Delhi : The updated Admirals' Epaulettes design has been made public by THE Indian Navy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed the new design for the epaulettes on Navy Day in 2023 in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra. According to the announcement, the design takes cues from the Naval Ensign and incorporates Rajmudra of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Royal Seal, also known as Rajmudra, was actually used by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his letters and ordinances. The Rajmudra is printed on a number of the letters. According to legend, Shivaji Maharaj received the Rajmudra from his father, Shahajiraje Bhosale.

The Octagon, Sword, Telescope, and Golden Navy Button make up the epaulettes. The Navy's resolve to eradicate the colonial mentality is reaffirmed by the Golden Navy Button. The eight cardinal directions are represented by the Octagon, which is a symbol of a comprehensive long-term vision. The Navy's Raison d'être, which is to be the vanguard of national power and win wars by dominating opponents and rising above all obstacles, is emphasised in The Sword. In a world that is always changing, the telescope represents long-term vision, foresight, and a weather-eye. 

The design is a true representation of India's rich maritime history, the statement continued. Prime Minister Modi declared, "Inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the nation is moving forward, leaving the mentality of dependence behind," during the Navy Day celebrations in Sindhudurg earlier this month.I'm happy that a small portion of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's legacy will now be seen on the epaulettes worn by our navy officers.The epaulettes will bear a new emblem that symbolizes Shivaji Maharaj's army. It is a blessing for me that I was able to link the Navy flag to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's legacy," he continued.
