Symbolism in Spirituality: Lakshmi Devi has it in both her hands, Saraswathi Devi sits on it, Vishnu carries it in his hand.
Tradition:
In Hinduism, the lotus represents spiritual enlightenment, beauty, fertility, purity, prosperity and eternity. It is said that there's a lotus flower in every human heart, and that when this lotus blooms, the person achieves enlightenment.
In the Buddhist tradition, the lotus flower is associated with Buddha himself. Just as the lotus flower emerges from the mud but remains untouched by it, the Buddha rises pure and untouched by the negative aspects of the world and achieves enlightenment.
When water falls on the leaves of the lotus, they don't stick to the leaf, they gather up dirt and other foreign materials as they roll off the surface, allowing the leaves to self-clean.
This behaviour in nature is termed the "lotus effect"

Mandala which I drew
the flow and the patterns
Inside out, I loved it.
Feeling as narration of the mandala
I am dark and light
I am curved and straight
I am fullness and divine
I am a Joyous Dance.
Mandala by - Deepa Mahesh
The light of the sun pours through the window.
Sitting in meditation,
the Philosopher absorbs the light in its reflection on the floor.
He reflects on the light of consciousness, readying himself to ascend the spiral stairway to enlightenment.
