Our Deepest Condolences on the passing of Director General Rakesh Pal, AVSM, PTM, TM. of Indian Coast Guard

This image represents the profound gratitude of the Sri Lanka Coast Guard to the late Director General of the Indian Coast Guard, Rakesh Pal.

The black-and-white portrait of Director General Rakesh Pal signifies his passing, while the white flowers on starboard side symbolize his pure soul. To the port, a black-and-white image of a lighthouse at sunset represents, he is setting down his duties and his role in guiding the Indian Coast Guard to great heights. With his passing, the lighthouse's illumination is no longer visible, yet his thoughts remains a guiding beacon for the Indian Coast Guard and the broader maritime community.

The old yet colourful images embedded in a film reel in the picture signify that even though pictures are old his colourful and beautiful memory will endure forever within the Sri Lanka Coast Guard.

Instead of Coast Guard colours, the coloured stripes of the Sri Lankan and Indian flags are prominently displayed, symbolizing his significant contributions to both nations' maritime forces.

The logos of both the Indian Coast Guard and the Sri Lanka Coast Guard are displayed to recognize his service.

Those words in the design convey a brief message from the Sri Lanka Coast Guard regarding his loss.

Our deepest condolences, May his soul rest in peace.
