Henna Gallery II - Lotus Flowers

Lotus flowers have been important to many cultures throughout time and geography. The lotus was a sacred image for Buddhists as well as ancient Egyptians. For Buddhists, the lotus--which grows updward in the direction of heaven while rooted in mud--symbolizes the connection between earth and heaven, between man and god, the profane and the sacred.
