A Lotus Flower can be considered a Mandala. Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". In the Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions their sacred art often takes a mandala form. Mandalas have spiritual and ritual significance.
In various spiritual traditions, mandalas are employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. The mandala's symbolic nature can help one ultimately experience a mystical sense of oneness.
These wonderful parasols are one of a kind. I offer custom parasols, too.
