Nelumbo nucifera
It is said that the lotus flower ("Nelumbo nucifera"), though it grows in muddy water, doesn't accumulate the mud particles onto it; such is the quality described as "rājīv". Today, in several Indian languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, Madheshi, Nepali, Assamese, Marathi and Kannada, "rājīv" is the word for "lotus flower".
