★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Lotus Temple was consecrated and opened to the public in December 1986. It was designed by Iranian architect Fariborz Sahba, who won acclaim for the project even before the temple was completed. It subsequently received several awards.
The Lotus Temple derives its name from its design. Like every other Bahāʾī mashriq, it is characterized by a nine-sided construction, in keeping with the Bahāʾī belief in the mystical properties of the number nine. Set on an elevated plinth in a 26-acre (10.5-hectare) expanse of landscaped gardens and surrounded by nine pools bordered by red sandstone walkways, the white marble edifice rises to a height of more than 130 feet (40 metres). The temple complex comprises 27 independent marble “petals,” which are clustered into groups of three to form nine sides (through which open nine entrances into a central space) and into groups of nine to form three concentric rings. Petals in the first ring face outward, forming canopies over the nine entrances. The second ring covers the outer hall. In the innermost ring, the petals curve inward to partially enclose the central prayer hall, which accommodates about 2,500 people. The top of the structure appears open but actually contains a glass-and-steel roof that admits natural daylight. The overall effect is that of a floating lotus flower on the verge of blooming and surrounded by its leaves.

The Lotus Temple, located in Delhi, India, is a Bahá'í House of Worship that was dedicated in December 1986, costing $10 million.[1]Notable for its flowerlike shape, it has become a prominent attraction in the city. Like all Bahá'í Houses of Worship, the Lotus Temple is open to all, regardless of religion or any other qualification. The building is composed of 27 free-standing marble-clad "petals" arranged in clusters of three to form nine sides,[2] with nine doors opening onto a central hall with a height of slightly over 40 metres[3] and a capacity of 2,500 people.[4] The Lotus Temple has won numerous architectural awards and has been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles.[5] A 2001 CNN report referred to it as the most visited building in the world.[6]
The Bahá'í Faith teaches that a Bahá'í House of Worship should be a space for people of all religions to gather, reflect, and worship.[7]Anyone may enter the Lotus Temple irrespective of religious background, sex, or other distinctions, as is the case with all Bahá'í Houses of Worship.[7] The sacred writings of not only the Bahá'í Faith but also other religions can be read and/or chanted, regardless of language;[7] on the other hand, reading non-scriptural texts is forbidden, as are delivering sermons, lectures or fundraising. Musical renditions of readings and prayers can be sung by choirs but no musical instruments can be played inside. There is no set pattern for worship services, and ritualistic ceremonies are not permitted

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ B’hai temple. Beautiful grounds. Grand architectural creation of the massive marble lotus flower. Simple. Don’t need much time or a guide for this one in my opinion. Worth a quick visit if you have time. I wouldn’t sacrifice another place for this one.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in the evening and it was fun.
The garden was well maintained.
The actual building is a hall where one can spend some time in peace and relax your mind. Though occasionally pigeons enter the hall to disturb you :) .
I think the photo opportunity might have been better with the lights on. Since I went in day light , I missed that.
