Ember Lotus: Golden Orange Mandala

A symmetrical emblem made of golden-orange, rippled texture shaped into a ring of pointed petals around a white oval. Inside the oval sits a single Sanskrit-style character, also filled with the same molten-looking texture. Everything is set against a clean white background.

A mandala that reads as glowing metal rather than flat ornament. The rippled gold-orange texture fills only the ring, the eight petals and the single Sanskrit-style character, so the emblem looks lit from behind and floats on a clean white field. Most mandala art is busy, dark or pattern-on-pattern. This one is one calm, centred, warm-coloured symbol with a lot of white space around it.
