DR. RAM MANOHAR LOHIYA NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY

The black and brown emblem of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University (RMLNLU) has a mortarboard hat surmounting a circular seal with brown border housing the motifs of a person holding a two pan beam balance having  four columns a backdrop. The border is inscribed with its name and place in Devanagari. Its motto in Sanskrit ‘धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय’ (Shloka 8, Chapter 4, Srimad Bhagavad Gita) meaning ‘For the Establishment of Righteousness’ is placed at the bottom of the seal. The mortarboard or Oxford hat symbolises educational achievement, equality, tradition and rights of passage; the person holding the balance and the beam balance denote justice, healing and life; the colour brown denotes earthiness, simplicity, stability, humility, warmth, reliability, endurance, timelessness and tradition and the colour black denotes mystery, power, elegance and sophistication.
