Surya सूर्य | Lotuses Open at His Hand | Museum Poster

सूर्य | Long ago, child, the old ones noticed something quiet. The lotuses close their petals at dusk and open again at first light. No bell rings. No one tells them. They simply know when the sun is coming, and they bow back to him in colour. Look — here Surya holds two of them, one in each raised hand, and you can see them open as he passes. This is why we say he is the gentlest king. He does not order the flowers. He does not need to. They simply remember him. May we be as faithful as the lotuses.
