Golden fishes of good fortune. They form part of the Ashtamangala, an eight-piece suite of auspicious signs associated with Buddhism and other related beliefs like Jainism and Hinduism. The pair of golden fish, usually carps, is a symbol of good luck. Initially, the creatures symbolized the two principal sacred rivers in India – Yamuna and Ganges.
