Why is the lotus the national flower of India?

Answer 1

The lotus always grows in ponds with a layer of moss or mud on top of the water. This symbolizes that, even when it is surrounded by dirt and impurity, it can still grow proud and beautiful. A single lotus growing in a pond can make even the moss and mud look beautiful. In the same way, Indians should strive to rise up and grow proud and beautiful even when they are surrounded by impurity or ill faith. In this way, they should endeavor to make our surroundings, not just our physical but also our mental, emotional and spiritual surroundings, more beautiful.
