Lotus is a water plant known both botanically and spiritually. Botanically, the lotus is recognized for its beauty and elegance, often growing in clear water surfaces and bearing flowers in various colors.
Spiritually, the lotus is an important symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. Growing in muddy waters yet producing immaculate flowers, the lotus symbolizes inner purity and enlightenment despite the challenges and chaos of life. In yoga and meditation practice, the lotus position and designs of lotus flowers symbolize the quest for inner peace, purity, and spiritual growth.
