Description
Charika | a journey, a wandering
“I have seen a celestial paradise on a clear night. I saw it from the roof of the world. And in the morning, among sublime peaks that rose from mist-filled valleys, I watched monks play cricket, and pray for enlightenment.”
Natasha Kumar, 2007 Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh
The motif of the padma [lotus flower] series, floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire, reminds our monk of his ultimate goal. A background of saffron yellow symbolises the meditation to transform pride into simplicity; turquoise green, the transformation of envy into accomplishment.
