Also known as Mayan White Lily and revered in the ancient Mayan empire, the cultural importance of White Lotus can be seen widely represented in Mayan art, especially in its depictions with jaguars and Mayan kings and queens. 
 
For the Maya, water lilies were symbolic of the watery surface of the Underworld and the earth's regenerative powers.
 
In Mayan art, lotus and waterlily flowers are associated with wisdom and are often depicted in ceremonial contexts. 
 
These flowers are also linked to gods and goddesses, and represent opposites such as the sun and moon, and sensual pleasure and purity of thought.
 
Its also believed that the water lily may have been used as an entheogen, similar to how the ancient Egyptians used the blue lotus, as it can cause opiate-like effects and has been used as a mild trance inducer and calming sedative.
