Lila - The Divine Play of Creation

In India, our culture believes that there are many universes like ours as we see today, and each is governed by Lord Vishnu. There are as many Lord Vishnu as universes originated from the MAHAVISHNU representing the Brahmañ who is silently takes part in the divine play of creation – Lila.

I spotted this water lily in my recent photo shoot. This time the rain had blessed me to make this theme happen :) The tiny water droplets make me recall multi verses and the water lily the Brahmañ here.

Thank you Linaji, this water lily was very difficult to control in PS due to its white petals. As my work in PS progressed the theme developed in my mind. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
