== University emblem ==
The university emblem was designed by Sri Kowta Rammohan Sastri with the guidance of [[Cattamanchi Ramalinga Reddy]]. The rising sun represents the university itself and the radiating light rays representing its faculties of study. The lotus is the seat of [[Goddess Lakshmi]] (prosperity) and [[Saraswati]] (knowledge). The swastika is the symbol of benediction. An ocean is the vast region of knowledge. The two serpents represent the seekers and custodians of wisdom.<ref>{{cite book|author=Andhra University Golden Jubilee Celebrations (1926–76) Souvenir|title=The Andhra University Emblem: What it signifies|publisher=Andhra University|location=Waltair|page=v}}</ref>
