The India Habitat Centre was conceived to provide a physical
environment which would serve as a catalyst for a synergetic
relationship between individuals and institutions working in
diverse habitat related areas and therefore, maximise their
total effectiveness. To facilitate this interaction, the Centre
provides a range of facilities.
Concept of the Symbol
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.

spouses to understand the amazing world of computers
