Event Details

Fishes have long been associated with abundance and wealth, and the lotus an ultimate symbol of purity. Red lotus,inparticular, represents compassion. The Chinese word for fish (yu) is pronounced the same way as abundance, hence is often used to represent prosperity. Koi fish is most often associated with the yin-yangsymbol, and a pair of Koi typically signifies harmony and happiness. 

Bringing together these auspicious elements is ‘Boundless Fortune’ the KDF charity icon for the year. This centrepiece-worthyicon features a pair of vibrant red Koi sitting upon an earthy brown base, complementedby the lotus flower in different stages of bloom.
