What does the Lotus symbolize?

Important religious significance is attached to the lotus. According to Buddhist tradition, the lotus is associated with enlightenment and the Buddha. It is also sacred to followers of Hindu tradition, and is the national flower of India. A relative of the lotus, Nymphaea lotus or the tiger lotus, was imported to Egypt, where it played an important role in religious ceremonies and culture. Numerous paintings and sculptures depict the use of the lotus in religious ceremonies and as a sacred ornament.
