Luxurious Lotus-based Offerings by Nyassa Bath and Body

The lotus flower is feted the world over for its purity, despite the paradox that it emerges from the dirty and muddy bottom of a pond. And yet remains pristine in its grandeur. According to tenets of Hinduism and Buddhism, it is said to symbolise the enlightened human who rises from the darkness of the world into a new way of thinking and living.
