The form is a direct and symbolic representation of India's unifying patterns. It is constructed out of a six-faced Spiral loop. It constitutes three distinct loops intertwined visually, representing the unified fabric of India. Each module of the loop is made of a distinctly cut Square hollow section, representing India's diverse nature with its variety and differences.

But at the same time, the individual pieces are slotted onto the other distinct piece - so each piece rests on top of each other symbolically representing the unity and diversity of India. The varying sizes of the square sections are also a recall to the range of age groups that constitute the Indian Populus from young to old.
