Sonam Supari said fish represents good fortune to follow the coming year. Conch Shell helps in spreading the sound of Dharma. Lotus Blossom is representative of the clarity of mind. Vase is representative of prosperity and longevity.

The flag is representative of victory over worldly pleasures like lust, desires and fear of death. The Wheel of Dharma is perhaps the most important Buddhist Symbol.
