3[26. The logo/emblem of the NHRC described below:
(i) The logo features the Ashoka Chakra at its heart. The petals in the upper half of the Chakra, which is derived from the national flag, change to brilliant orange rays radiating upwards and outwards. Like the sun's rays, these too are indicative of hope and movement, with a far reaching penetrating quality. The rays benefit all, without distinction, and are not subject to limitations of any kind. The entire symbol is guarded by two side arms which seem to raise it and protect it, thereby suggesting universal love and hope-qualities which are the birthright of all mankind.
(ii) The Sanskrit quotation "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah" is also incorporated in the logo.]
