The lotus flower represents purity, loyalty and enlightenment and is revered in Asia. Along Lake Inle, the Intha have been practicing the art of weaving lotus flower strands for generations.

Their knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next, within the family. The Intha work the land on a total of 17 floating gardens. Yelku and her family live here - the lake is the focal point of their lives. Yelku is one of the last lotus weavers. She creates striking traditional robes and costumes.
