Bahai Temple

In the heart of New Delhi, the bustling capital of India, a lotus- shaped outline has etched itself on the consciousness of the city's inhabitants, capturing their imagination, fuelling their curiosity, and revolutionizing the concept of worship.

This is the Bahá'í Mashriqu'l- Adhkar, better known as the "Lotus Temple". Built in 1997, it is a symbol of tolerance and respect. In the shape of a white lotus, it is surrounded by nine crystal blue pools of water and lush green lawns.

This building welcomes worshippers, believers and non- believers from all over the country and the world.

Thousands of tourists visit this place to view and enjoy the lotus structure built out of marble with red sandstone pathways.

Its soothingly quiet Prayer Hall and tranquil surroundings have touched the hearts of the Temple's numerous visitors. Admission is Free.

Hours: Summer (April 1- September 30) 9am- 7pm. Winter (October 1- March 31) 9:30am- 5:30pm
