lotus flowers
Pond surface blossoms
Lotus flowers are aquatic plants with large, showy blooms that rise above the water on long stalks.
Sacred in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, they symbolize purity and spiritual awakening—emerging pristine from muddy waters.
The lotus position in yoga mimics the flower's shape.
The pond was covered with pink lotus flowers.
