Comes With a Small Leaflet That Reads:

A ritual of light, colour, harmony, unity and atmosphere.

The lotus flower is a symbol of transformation from darkness into the light, from innocence into insight and wisdom, towards peace and serenity. The symbolism derives from the fact that the lotus grows its roots in the dark dirt below, while his wonderful flower is always turned towards the light.
The Lotus Candlelight's are symbols of these qualities, and also of the 7 main energy centers of the human body (chakras). The warm light of a Lotus Candlelight invites pleasant feelings and offers healing effects.
