Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. The symbolism is that a person can rise above being rooted in the ugliness and suffering of this world, and should try to be pure and help others with the beauty of the spirit. Untouched by impurity, the lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower also represents long life, health, honor and good luck.
This beautifully hand carved lotus wall hanging is approximately 14" in diameter.
