"The spirit of the best of men is spotless, like the lotus in the muddy water which does not adhere to it.”

~Lalitavistara, Mahayana Buddhist sutra

A recurring motif across cultures and religions (Hinduism, Buddhism etc)- one of most common metaphysical analogies compares the perennial rise of the lotus to faultless beauty from a miry environment to the evolution of consciousness, from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation. Be like Lotus, says our miniature artist Jagdish Chand through this shimmery silver representation of the lotus.
