Your guild
Your guild · your lotus as your own Māyā, a work-life city · tap a building · zoom out to the pond
Your guild: your lotus as your own Māyā, a work-life city, drawn as the Sāmatvārtha Mandala. In the middle, Kṣetra, your roots; Karm, your desk; Kula, your table. In front, your study; behind, what blooms. Each stands as tall as it has grown in your garden; what has not is dashed, in the making. Tab reaches the city; the arrow keys move between its buildings

The near pond from above: your lotus, the studio's and the sample lotuses on one water, each at its true bearing from Ujjain, the Sabha at the centre, ripples of distance and no border drawn.
