The Many Forms of the Lotus in Indian Textiles
Few flowers have found as many expressions in Indian textile art as the Lotus.
Simplified into symmetrical forms, repeated across the fabric in rhythmic patterns.
Or drawn with delicate, curling vines and petals that resemble the flower in bloom.
The lotus changes its appearance with the hands and techniques that create it.
Yet the flower remains unmistakably familiar.
The lotus finds new expressions in the fabrics and furnishings of everyday life.
