About Lotus Within
Himalayan Art for Inspired LivingLotus Within is an extension of a Nepalese family business that has been curating Himalayan art for three generations. Our first store opened in Nepal over 60 years ago, supporting spiritual practices and sharing authentic art with the Nepali locals and those in search of serenity. We have a passion for spiritual practices that guide humanity toward ultimate truth and combine this with our passion for Himalayan art.
Led by Shilpa Shakya, Lotus Within has grown to become the premier online resource for rare Himalayan art, serving spiritual practitioners, art professionals, interior designers, and anyone who appreciates the unique beauty and spiritual wisdom of Himalayan art.
At Lotus Within, we source the finest handmade arts and crafts created by actual Himalayan artists. Our collections are inspired by the ancient traditions of Nepal, Tibet, and India. Each piece is unique, a true masterpiece of workmanship.
We are committed to honoring the traditions, culture, and history of this beautiful region. By curating unique handmade artworks rather than factory-made reproductions for the mass market, we help support the livelihoods of the Himalayan people and to preserve their exquisite and precious traditional arts.
For three generations, our family has pioneered Nepali handicraft trade in Nepal. Today, we are one of the most trusted and reputable dealers of handmade fine art from the Himalayan region.
Lotus Within curated collections focus on the excellent and renowned Himalayan skills of metalcraft, wood carving, and painting. We strive to collect rare pieces of historical significance, along with the best in authentic contemporary art from Nepal, India and Tibet.
We collect exceptional and original works of art that reflect their cultural and spiritual lineage.
At Lotus Within, our mission is to inspire and enrich the lives of people around the world who seek inner peace and are drawn to the ancient beauty and spiritual wisdom represented in Himalayan art forms.
In today’s society saturated with consumerism and sensationalism, the cultivation of inner growth is more important than ever. In its purest form, spiritual art supports inner growth by bringing beauty and spiritual symbolism into our lives. These objects serve as inspiration and reminders of the principles that fortify our practice and enhance wellbeing.
Lotus Within provides a safe, reliable, and supportive buying experience for our customers, while also serving to spread appreciation for the cultural heritage of Himalayan art and spirituality.
