William Blake, illustration for Dante's Paradiso
The White Celestial Rose
Dante, Paradiso
The colour white is associated with the Sahasrara Chakra (Crown centre) as white contains all the colours of the seven chakras.
The deities take their seats in the Sahasrara at the crown of the head. William Blake shows the Divine Mother in the centre of the Rose.
The Ushnisha, or topknot, in buddhist iconography is a symbol of the Sahasrara.
