The lotus flower holds many meanings

This is especially true for Thayanithi Kulenthran as the flower's benefit to the environment is especially close to her heart.

It has been a hectic rush through the morning traffic jam on the Federal Highway to get to Thayanithi Kulenthran’s house on a weekday. Once through the front gates and into the house, there is a serenity to its interior and surroundings that you feel immediately calm. The battle through the congestion on the roads is suddenly a faraway thought.
