INTRODUCTION 
Hindu goddess Lakshmi holding & standing on a lotus. 
From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in 
Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity 
and non-attachment. 
Acc to Hindus the divinities Vishnu and Lakshmi often 
portrayed on a pink lotus in iconography. In the 
representation of Vishnu as Padmanabha (Lotus navel), a 
lotus issues from his navel with Brahma on it. Goddess 
Sarasvati is portrayed on a white-colored lotus.
In Hindu iconography, other deities, like Ganga and 
Ganesha are often depicted with lotus flowers as their 
seats. 
In Sanskrit the word lotus (padma पद्म) has many 
synonyms. Since the lotus thrives in water, ja (denoting 
birth) is added to synonyms of water to derive some 
synonyms for the lotus, like ambuja (ambu= water + 
ja=born of), neeraj (neera=water + ja= born of), pankaj, 
pankaja
