The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a beautiful aquatic plant known for its large, fragrant blossoms and round, floating leaves. It grows in shallow ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers. The flower blooms in shades of pink, white, or yellow, rising gracefully above the water surface. The lotus symbolizes purity, peace, and spiritual enlightenment in many cultures, especially in India and Asia. It thrives in warm, sunny climates and needs nutrient-rich, muddy soil. Apart from its beauty, various parts of the plant—such as the seeds, roots, and stems—are used for food and traditional medicine.
