About Our Logo

The logo illustrates the central idea of Nalanda, as articulated in “The Nalanda Way” – “man living in harmony with man, man living in harmony with nature, and man living as part of nature.”

Man living in harmony with man through study of the humanities.

Man living in harmony with nature recognizes furthering the sciences.

Man living as part of nature is predicated by a community that harmonizes with its local environment.

This logo is a “rebus” or visual pun. It depicts a tree, which is a symbol of nature, and is a metaphor for life and of giving. It also shows interlinked figures of the people who have come together for a creative and constructive endeavour.
