| Reverse description | Central design depicts the goddess Vaishno Devi (a form of Durga) enthroned and riding a tiger, facing forward in a devotional composition. The deity is portrayed with eight arms, each bearing a distinct weapon or divine attribute symbolizing the destruction of evil. The design reflects the iconographic tradition of Shakti worship associated with the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu. A bilingual legend in Devanagari script arcs across the upper and lower fields identifying the shrine board, flanked by the year of issue. The Latin legend 'SILVER JUBILEE SHRI MATA VAISHNO DEVI SHRINE BOARD' appears in the lower portion of the field, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the shrine board. |
