An illustration featuring two femme-presenting individuals holding each other and smiling. The person on the left has light brown skin and long dark brown hair that is up. She is wearing a red sari with gold accents and a golden sash across her body, gold bangle bracelets, gold dangly earrings and a golden piece of jewelry at the top of her forehead. Her nails are painted red. The person on the right is wearing a white dress with small pink accents and a red and gold sash tied around her waist that matches her partner's outfit. Her brown hair is short, and she's wearing a golden Grecian headband, a gold bracelet, a gold necklace and a gold wedding ring. The border of the illustration is full of red and golden flowers, and the word "Embodied" is at the top in yellow block letters.
