Volume VI, Issue 2
Author: Manoj Das
Editor’s Note: In continuation of our theme on Indian sacred architecture, we feature a delightful children’s story written by the acclaimed author, Manoj Das. The story titled The Girls and a Lotus reminds us of the inner significance of a common temple ritual, offering of flowers to the deity. Can offering the flowers help one’s inner growth, when the act is done with a sincere heart full of love? Read the story and reflect.
The story is excerpted from Manoj Das’ book titled Stories of Light and Delight (published by National Book Trust India, 2022). The illustrations are done by Biswajita Mohapatra.
