The sacred lotus (nelumbo nucifera) spread with Hinduism and Bhuddism. This plant is rich in antioxidans. Taken by Indian indentured labourers, it spread from India to Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, Guyana and Trinidad. The stem secretes a natural flocculant which keeps the water in which it grows pristine clear, as is evident by the unprecedented clarity and lack of turbidity. Hindu priests often use the lotus flower to illustrate the qualities that are required to be exhibited by a follower of the faith stressing.........."Although the lotus flower grows in mud, the leaves, flower and fruit are found to be growing above that quagmire!" By the same analogy, the devout Hindu must stand out in society for his impeccable qualities and morals. PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE: A hand-held LED light source was used to illuminate the central part of the flower. Some petals were removed to make it less crowded. A low camera angle gives a three dimensional effect.
