The lotus flower symbolizes purity, spiritual enlightenment, rebirth, and the ability to rise above adversity because it grows from muddy waters to bloom beautifully above the surface. It is a sacred symbol in Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, representing the human journey toward spiritual awakening and the emergence of beauty and light even from difficult circumstances.
