Nalanda University

Nalanda University Nalanda is a word known across the world and for centuries. It stands for a university which attract

The establishment of the ancient Nalanda as an undisputed seat of learning was a natural consequence of the time and place in which it was situated. Ancient Magadha was characterized by an intellectual ferment unlike any known to mankind. This heritage was divided into two parts – both Buddhist and non-Buddhist. This ability to meld multiple discourses and to embrace knowledge in its entirety is w

hat made Nalanda uniquely attractive for all seekers of pure knowledge. Historical sources indicate that the University had a long and illustrious life which lasted almost continually for 800 years from the fifth to the twelfth century CE. It was a completely residential university with over 2,000 teachers and 10,000 students. The Nalanda ruins reveal through their architectural components the holistic nature of knowledge that was sought and imparted at this University. It suggests a seamless co-existence between nature and man and between living and learning. The profound knowledge of the Nalanda teachers attracted scholars from places as distant as China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Mongolia, Turkey, Sri Lanka and South East Asia. These scholars have left records about the ambience, architecture and learning of this unique university. The most detailed accounts have come from Chinese scholars and the best known of these is Xuan Zang who carried back many hundred scriptures which were later translated into Chinese. Close to the end of the twelfth century Nalanda was destroyed by invaders. The period from which Nalanda ceased to exist was a time that the great universities of the western world came into being, marking the shift in knowledge production and dissemination from the East to the West. Only Al Azhar in Cairo (972 CE), Bologna in Italy (1088 CE) and Oxford in the United Kingdom (1167 CE )had been founded before the destruction of Nalanda.

Concept behind the 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 will be advanced in part through study of the humanities.
Man living in harmony with nature recognizes the importance of studying and furthering the sciences.
Man living as part of nature is predicated on creating a community that harmonizes with its local environment.

As a graphic, this logo is a "rebus" or visual pun. On the one hand, it depicts a tree, which is significant as a symbol of nature, significant because of the Bodhi tree's importance to the story of Nalanda, and significant because the tree is a metaphor for life and of giving. On the other hand, it shows interlinked figures of the people who have come together to create this new university.

In depicting the interlinking of different stakeholders, the logo thereby exemplifies what is unique about this university – it results from the coming together of different countries, of people across geographies who are working together to create a new institution. It emphasizes a different aspect of globalization: the exchange of ideas and people to expand learning and culture.

The visual treatment is clearly Asian in its expression, and it is unique in that it does not resemble any other logo. Derived from the DNA of the university, and drawn using classic and timeless design principles rather than a language that is trendy today but will be dated tomorrow, the logo promises to endure.
