Below the G20 logo is the word “Bharat”, as India is referred to in Sanskrit and figures in the Devanagari script.

The theme for India’s G20 Presidency is the century old foreign policy – “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth-One Family-One Future”. This again is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text – the Maha Upanishad.
