Bogor City Emblem

The Bogor City emblem consists of a shield containing four principal elements: a golden Garuda, Istana Bogor, Mount Salak, and a yellow or gold kujang. Their colors and backgrounds are also described as part of the emblem’s composition.

• Golden Garuda on a red background: The Garuda symbolizes Pancasila as the foundation of the state and the commitment of Bogor’s government and community to uphold the 1945 Constitution with courage and responsibility.
• Istana Bogor against blue and light green: The palace depicts Bogor’s long colonial history and fertile soil, and symbolizes the area’s natural beauty and its character as a peaceful place of rest.
• Mount Salak amid white clouds and blue: The mountain symbolizes the glory of past kingdoms—Salakanagara, Tarumanagara, and Pakuan Pajajaran—which upheld sacred and wise leadership.
• Yellow or gold kujang on a red background: This two-edged traditional Sundanese heirloom weapon symbolizes success achieved through knowledge. Its sharp form also symbolizes a balance between faith and reason for human welfare.

The documented meanings connect the Bogor City emblem with Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, Bogor’s colonial history, and the past kingdoms associated with the area.
