Design














Concept

The Symbol consists of three geometrical entities: A Curve and 2 thick straight horizontal lines intersecting the curve at the middle and lower middle half.










The curve represent the geometric hybrid of letter रु & R (as shown in the following figures) , While the Horizontal lines provide balance to the structure and denotes stability.

Reasons for choosing this Symbol

This symbol primarily represents the Territorial Map of India. If we compare the Map of India and this symbol we can find that how the symbol takes the shape of India. This way the symbol projects an image of India which is Universal, equal to all and doesn’t have any particular association with any community or religion.

In the next image we can see ‘Bharat Mata’ and her Lion taking the shape of our currency symbol.
