The story of our logo

RishiSetu means “the bridge to the rishis”. Every part of the logo says the same thing: the knowledge of the rishis, carried across to you, one small step at a time.

The RishiSetu emblem: a rishi reading a book on a stone setu over a navy river, under a temple torana crowned with Om, with the seven stars of the Saptarishi above
  1. The rishi
    1

    The rishi

    The rishis were the seers who “saw” the mantras, and every shastra traces back to them. One rishi, reading, stands for all of them: everything you learn here is their knowledge.

  2. The setu

    The setu

    In the Ramayana, the setu to Lanka was built stone by stone. RishiSetu is a bridge between the rishis’ knowledge and you, and each short lesson is one stone.

  3. The seven stars

    The seven stars

    The Saptarishi are seven rishis shining in the night sky, the stars many know as the Big Dipper. Indians have long used them to find north, toward Dhruva, and at weddings couples are shown Vasishtha and Arundhati among them.

  4. The river

    The river

    Time and life keep flowing. The setu lets you cross, at your own pace.

  5. The temple torana

    The temple torana

    The gateway is a temple torana, crowned with Om. You enter sacred learning the way you enter a temple: through its gateway, with respect.

  6. The flame on the “i”

    The flame on the “i”

    The flame stands for intelligence, glowing: the light of understanding that is lit inside each learner.

    • Saffron
    • Gold
    • Navy

    The colours

    Saffron for the sacred fire and for courage. Gold for light and the stars. Deep navy for the night sky, for depth and for trust.

Knowledge of the rishis, one step at a time.
