Lily Reef

In Buddhist symbolism the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. A unique fabric from the lotus plant fibers is produced only at Inle lake, Union of Myanmar and is used for weaving special robes for Buddha images called kya thingahn (lotus robe).
