In fact, centuries-old Odia literature and sacred texts refer to the two as interchangeable. From a purely visual perspective, both are often depicted either seated in or flanked by a lotus - the symbolism of which endures across cultures: purity - the essence of truth - is resilient, and can never be tarnished. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Sambalpuri tradition, motifs such as chakra (wheel), shankha (conch), and padma (lotus) are directly linked to Vishnu, and therefore to Jagannath. For us, the fact that bandha processes have journeyed thousands of miles before settling in hyperlocal clusters reflects Jagannath’s regional significance to Buddha’s global recognition. This fascinating contrast for both subject and process inspired this piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDimensions: 40.5” (W) X 48” (L)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boito","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367265272091,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/0170\/1659\/files\/lotus_01.jpg?v=1763986569","url":"https:\/\/boito.in\/products\/lotus-textile","provider":"Boito","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
