The
logo depicts the head of an elephant with the sacred icons of the
Shanku (conch) and the Chakra (wheel) and the Namams of Lord Venkateswara.
The elephant head represents Lord Ganesha , who is invoked before
the start of any major event or pooja as per Hindu culture . Incidentally
an elephant, ' Venkanna' was the first
animal brought to the zoo . The three icons represent Lord Venkateswara
whose abode is the Seshachalam hills and the zoo is situated right
at its foothills. These icons in the logo were specifically selected
to symbolize the mythological theme of the
zoo , as well as to propagate conservation
education with religious impetus . |
