Red background dominates center. A dark blue figure with white headwear sits cross-legged on a white base with yellow accents. The figure wears a yellow dhoti with red and gold details and a matching yellow and red sash. The figure's right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand raised to shoulder height, palm facing out. The left hand rests on the knee. The figure has a bindi and earrings. Two deer with white bellies face the figure. A pink half-circle and a green circular floral design are on either side. A green and brown vertical element with a scalloped design is on the left. Black, wavy line separates the top text block from the rest of the image. Text blocks contain black text on tan background.
