The logo of INTACH has been derived from the 3000-year-old anthropomorphic copper figure of Shahabad, Uttar Pradesh, discovered in the copper hoards of the Ganges valley. A similar monolithic figure in granite, 35 meters high, stands majestically amongst the ruined megaliths near Triruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu. 

For the INTACH family, this human-like figure is an ancient reminder that we are responsible for our cultural and natural wealth. The arms of the figure turned inwards seem to suggest that the future of the earth lies in the hands of human beings, and it is the duty of every individual to protect and care for their cultural legacy.
