After the lotus festival was held in Hanoi to honor the beauty and meaning of lotus flower, Lotus has selected to be the national flower with 81 percent from voters.
"It is not a surprise that lotus received the most votes," Tran Khanh Chuong, Chairman of the Vietnam Fine Art Association, told the news provider. "In my opinion, this flower has long been unofficially recognized as a symbol in Vietnamese literature. It is appropriate to Vietnam's culture and history."
According to Vietnam News, the country's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism established the criteria for the national flower. It must have originated in Vietnam or have been planted for a long time in the country, must be found in many localities, must be featured widely in arts and must be favored by many people.
Lotus is known as an exquisite flower, which symbolizes beauty, majesty, grace, fertility, wealth, richness, knowledge and serenity.
Appeared in many legends, lotus is looked upon as a symbol of divine beauty. In the Asian religions and cultures, especially, in Buddhism and Hinduism, lotus flower is the embodiment of perfection. The magnificent lotus flowers emerge from the dirty and murky bottom of a pond, and yet remain untouched by all the dirt and mud of the environment, in which it grows. This unique quality of the flower is believed to represent the pure spirit.
Usually found in five different colors, white, red, blue, purple and pink, each kind of Lotus flower has its own meaning. The white lotus is said to denote purity of the mind and spiritual perfection. The red lotus on the other hand, stands for the heart and hence, symbolizes love, passion, compassion and the qualities akin to the original nature of heart. The blue one means wisdom and knowledge, and stands for the victory over the senses. Purple lotus is the mystic lotus, representing the esoteric sects. The delicate pink lotus is considered as the supreme of all lotuses. This is the reason why, the main Hindu gods and Goddesses, and also 'Buddha' are shown to be seated on a pink lotus.
