The Hamsa of Lake Manasarova
In Hinduism, the hamsa, or the swan, is often identified with the Supreme Spirit, Ultimate Reality or Brahman in Hinduism. The flight of the hamsa symbolizes moksha, the release from the cycle of samsara.
The hamsa is also the vahana of Saraswati – the goddess of knowledge and creative arts, and her husband Brahma – the god with powers of creation, in Hindu trinity.
Lake Manasarovar in Hindu mythology, is seen as the summer abode of the hamsa. Poetical images are derived from the flight of the swans to that lake in the Himalayas.
Created for Kreative People Treat This 88. Many thanks to abstractartangel77 for the use of her gorgeous fractal source image Sunset on the Beach, and to brillianthues for the use of her interesting and adaptable image Sunshine, the source image for Treat This 71. Small versions of both images are posted below.
All other photographic elements are from my own stock. The textures LightLines1, and Dappled Sunlight On A Wall are my own and are available from my Textures and Layers - Complete Collection set
