Lotus or Kamal

The lotus flower holds deep symbolic and spiritual meaning in Hindu mythology. It is revered not just for its beauty but for what it represents on a metaphysical level. Purity Amidst Impurity The lotus grows in muddy waters but remains untouched and unstained by the mud. This symbolizes spiritual purity, detachment, and the idea of rising above worldly attachments and desires while still living in the material world. Spiritual Enlightenment The unfolding petals of the lotus represent the expansion of the soul and the journey toward enlightenment. It's a metaphor for awakening and the realization of the inner self. Creation and the Cosmos In Hindu cosmology, the lotus is linked to the creation of the universe.
