Description: 'Surya Majapahit' or 'The Sun of Majapahit' is the emblem common found in temples and ruins dated from Majapahit era. Some scholars suggested that this sun disc was the royal emblem of Majapahit, probably functioned as the en:coat of arms of Majapahit empire. The sun disk is stylized with carved ray of light; surrounded by eight Lokapala gods, the eight en:Hindu gods that guarded eight cardinal points of the universe. There's other version of Majapahit's Sun, such as sun disc with sun god en:Surya riding a celestial horse or chariot, to just a simple sun disc with stylized ray of light.
