Faceted glass petals fan outward into a full-bloom lotus, opening to a central well for a votive candle. In Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the lotus stands for clarity, awakening, and growth that begins in what is muddied. Set it on a meditation altar, dining table, or windowsill, and light a candle at its center to mark a small pause.

Meaning & Intention
The lotus grows rooted in mud, rises through murky water, and opens into a flawless bloom untouched by what lies below. Rendered in faceted crystal, that story is retold in glass and light.
In Buddhist and Hindu iconography, the flower is tied to the unfolding of consciousness. A closed bud suggests potential; a fully opened bloom, like this one, represents complete awakening — the mind and heart opened past old attachments.
Placing a lit candle at its center pairs the flower’s symbolism of purity with fire’s symbolism of illumination and transformation. The flame becomes the seed of realization held within the bloom, visible through every faceted petal.

Questions & Guidance
Does it come with a candle?
No. The listing is for the crystal lotus holder alone. Choose a votive up to 2 inches in diameter to set into the central well.
Is it safe to use with a lit flame?
Yes. It is made to hold a votive candle, though as with any holder it should sit on a heat-safe surface and never be left unattended.
How might I use it in a practice?
Light the candle to mark the start of a sit, a prayer, or an evening alone. Watching the flame scatter through the petals can serve as a focal point for meditation.
