Deities called Kamala as a praise-name

Kamalatmika or Kamla, a common epithet of Hindu goddess Lakshmi, sometimes simplistically ideogrammed as "goddess of wealth."
Most Hindu deities are routinely praised in liturgical texts, prayers and chants for being kamal or kamala, lotus, or having lotus attributes such as beauty, purity, cleanliness. These deities include Shiva, Brahma, Shakti, Vishnu, Kali, and all their avatara.
'Lotus-feet' is a title of gurus of either sex. One salutes them by holding their feet in your hands and kissing their toes or upper surfaces of the main body of the foot.
These praise-names are the source of many namings of humans as Kamal or Kamala, reinforcing the choice of the name bestowed upon children or other name recipients by virtue of the meaning of lotus.
