District 317E Theme

The Gandaberunda, with its two heads and two expansive wings, serves as a powerful philosophical symbol of Lions District - 317E's dual pillars: service and membership. Each head, gazing in opposite directions, represents the dual focus of Lions District - 317E - one head symbolizes the commitment to selfless service, always alert to the needs of the community, while the other signifies the importance of membership, looking to expand, strengthen, and unify those willing to serve.

The creature’s two wings are equally symbolic. One wing reflects the power of service, lifting communities through initiatives that address local and global needs. The other wing embodies the strength found in fellowship and collaboration, where members support each other, share wisdom, and draw upon collective resilience to uplift society. The balance of these wings enables Gandaberunda to soar—a reminder that both aspects are essential for Lions District -317E’s mission to reach new heights.

The Gandaberunda symbolizes the rich cultural and historical heritage of Karnataka and Bangalore. As a district deeply rooted in and representing this vibrant region, we have chosen this iconic emblem to reflect our connection to its legacy. The Gandaberunda’s form speaks to a fundamental truth: true impact arises when service and community are in harmony. Together, the two heads and two wings embody the idea that as membership growth, so does the capacity to serve. Just as the Gandaberunda channels strength through its unity, Lions District-317E’s purpose is magnified by the unity of its members, who, like the two heads and wings, work in unison to achieve a shared vision of compassionate action and societal transformation.

Like Gandaberunda, we Lions should spread our wings to reach new heights.
