Review:

The Lotus Temple, also known as mashriq al-adhkar, is a house of worship created by award-winning Iranian architect Fariboz Sahba in 1986. Like all Baha’í mashriqs, its design features nine sides, as the Baha’í believe in the mystical properties of the number nine, which subsequently creates the lotus look of the temple. It’s situated on 26 elevated acres surrounded by nine pools and encircled with red sandstone walkways. Its white marble edifice has a towering height of 130 feet and the temple complex consists of 27 independent marble petals assembled in groups of three, forming the nine sides and serving as entrances to the central space.
