The symbol of Universitas Airlangga is Garuda Mukti ridden by the incarnation of Batara Wisnu namely Prabu Airlangga which means wise, powerful, and refined. Next is a picture of an eagle being ridden by Vishnu carrying an urn filled with amrita water. It is said that the water can revive the dead and is eternal. The outer part is a circle of golden chains which is likened to students studying at Universitas Airlangga who are expected to be unbroken links for the glory of the alma mater, nation and humanity. Meanwhile, the basic yellow color is considered majestic and blue indicates knighthood and the depth of soul.
Preceded by the unveiling of Wishnu statue’s cloak in yellow and blue, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno inaugurated Universitas Airlangga. To capture the event, on the advice of Prof. R. M. Soejoenoes, the colors of the cloak were established as the colors of the university’s flag. Yellow means majesty, while blue is a sign of chivalry and a deep soul.
