The White Lotus

 The White Lotus (Nelumbonucifera) is a prominent and highly revered aquatic plant, widely recognized across various cultures, particularly in Asian traditions. Distinguished by its large, pure white petals and a prominent yellow centre, it typically emerges from muddy waters, with its large, circular leaves often floating on the surface or held above it.

Symbolically, the white lotus holds immense significance. In many Eastern philosophies, notably Buddhism and Hinduism, it represents purity, spiritual awakening, enlightenment, and divine beauty.
