The wheel with twenty-four spokes represents the Twelve Laws of Dependent Origination and the Twelve Laws of Dependent Termination. These spokes were thought to represent twenty-four states of India, which were present when India was formed. The Dharma Chakra is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
