Mojokerto Regency Emblem

The Mojokerto Regency emblem consists of a documented field described in the sources in two ways: as a circle or as a shield. Its composition reflects the historical prominence of the Majapahit Kingdom and the spirit of struggle.

• Majapahit history and struggle: The emblem’s overall concept refers to the historical glory of the Majapahit Kingdom and conveys a spirit of struggle.
• Regional designations: The emblem is associated with the regional epithets “Bumi Majapahit” and “Bumi Amukti Palapa”.
• 17-8-45 reference: The reference to 17-8-45 appears through the rice count, described as 35 or as a combination of elements, together with the maja leaves and fruit; these symbols refer to the date of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia.
• Old Javanese letters: The Old Javanese letters “BHRA” represent the abbreviation “Brawijaya”, symbolizing glory and unity.
• Banyan tree and Pura: The banyan tree and Pura depict protection and strength while reflecting deep spiritual and cultural historical roots.
• Regional motto: The motto “Wijña mantriwira” is in Old Javanese and means “Brave, wise, and responsible”.

The Mojokerto Regency emblem uses “Wijña mantriwira” as its documented motto, with the phrase providing the emblem’s stated ethical meaning. Its references to Majapahit history, Brawijaya, independence, and spiritual and cultural roots are documented features of the emblem.
