This is the real Bramhakamal, found only in the Himalayas at an altitude around 4500 meters. I shot this picture while coming back from Hemkund Sahib, the Gurdwara situated at 15,000 feet in the Himalayas.
There are for stories related to the Bramhakamal in history.

The lotus of Bramha. Lord Bramha is believed to born on this flower.
Life giving flower of the Gods. We all know the story behind the birth of Ganesha. When Shiva attached the head of an elephant on the body of Ganesha, he was bathed in water sprinkled from a Bramhakamal (As cited in Wikipedia).
The Golden Lotus: While in exile with the Pandavas, Draupadi spotted a beautiful golden flower float away in the stream. She called her husband Bhima to search for the flower. 'Golden' may also mean shimmering white.
Wish Fulfilling: It is said that anyone who sees the flower blooming will get all his or her wishes fulfilled.
