A stylized pink lotus flower with gold outlines and a gold halo on a muted green and grey background.

The lotus sits low and open — not overly perfect, not symmetrical — just alive. Each petal curves gently outward like a slow exhale. Its petals are layered in ombré hues, beginning at the base in blush-pink, soft and barely there, like first light on skin. As they rise, the pink deepens into dusty rose, then shifts toward sun-faded crimson at the outermost tips. There's a natural gradient, like sunset on water — soft, not dramatic, but unmistakably present. Each petal has a faint gold vein running through its center — not shiny or metallic, but brushed-on, like the kind of gold you'd see in sacred manuscripts or weathered temple murals. Not decorative — devotional. The center of the lotus is simple, shaded in warm terracotta or muted saffron, echoing diya lamps or prayer bowls. Inside, there is no symbol, no om — just space. Room for breath, for silence. Behind the lotus, faintly watermarked or ink-washed in soft grey, is an abstract halo — reminiscent of Marian iconography. A gentle circle of presence, not dominance.
