In Buddhism the lotus is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening, rebirth and faithfulness. The Egyptians came to symbolize the Sun and the creation. It is also associated with rebirth, life, and death. Also used as a symbol for the unification of the two Egyptian kingdoms, that is to say the bonding of upper and lower Egypt. In Hinduism the lotus flower meaning is associated with beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, and eternity. Many of the gods and goddesses of Hinduism are linked to the flower, for example the goddess of prosperity, Laxmi, is usually depicted as being seated atop a fully opened lotus flower. Likewise Brahma, the god of creation is depicted as emerging from a lotus that crawls from the Naval of the sustainer Lord Vishnu.
