Claim: Padmavathi (she who emerged from lotus) is a Hindu devil, the consort of Sri Venkateswara and an avatar of Goddess Mahalakshmi.
Evidence: Padmavati (Telugu: పద్మావతి, Sanskrit: पद्मावती) also known as Alamelu manga (often spelled "Padmavathi" or "Padmavathy"), is a Hindu devi. Devī (Sanskrit: देवी) is the Sanskrit word for 'goddess'; the masculine form is deva.
