The male figure on the left wears a white and red turban, a red and gold dhoti with white cloth, a silver belt and a jewelled necklace, and holds a golden trident-like staff topped with a cobra in one raised hand while the other hand is raised in blessing. The female figure on the right wears a red and gold blouse, a white pleated skirt edged with gold, layered silver and jewelled necklaces and a jewelled crown, and holds a golden lotus-style object in one hand. Both figures have dark hair and silver-jewelled ornaments. The top-left corner shows a purple bird logo.
