Devi Aadyashakti


Flowers are an integral part of every Hindu Puja (worship) and rituals. And of all the flowers, Lotus is considered the most auspicious and sacred. Lotus represents beauty and non-attachment. The lotus plant flourishes in muddy slushy water, yet the flower rises above it without becoming dirty or wet. Lotus symbolizes how one should live without any attachment to one’s surroundings. During Durga Puja, 108 Lotus flowers and 108 lit lamps form a major part of the offerings made to the Goddess.

Here, the three Lotus bud represents the three eyes of Devi Durga.
