The symbol has three basic elements. The downward pointing triangle within the male figure encircled
by the words India Habitat Centre.
The figure of the man, developed from a prototype of a rock painting from Bhimbetka
in Madhya Pradesh, represents the anthropomorphic personification of Shiva,
the Creator - Demiurge, as the Divine Archer.
The bow in his left hand has been deleted for purpose of design. The figure
depicts the phenomenon of the expanding form, quintessential to the
eternal repose, peace and order in the universe.
The downward pointing triangle is a female symbol representing Shakti.
It is based on Shri Yantra, a general term for instruments of worship
which include geometric forms. An amalgamation of the two forms
symbolize the creative activity of the cosmic male and female energies in
successive stages of evolution. It is the archetypal marriage represented in
abstract form, a key to the secret of cosmic and universal harmony.
Encircling them is the Universe, shown by the typographical use of the words
India Habitat Centre placed in a perfect circle.
The symbol in its entirety would represent the aim of the India Habitat Centre to resolve and restore at every
level - Environmental and Ecological, a balanced, harmonious and improved way of life.
