The beautiful lotus flower can be seen as a decorative element in many Buddhist temples all over India and beyond, but the stunning Lotus Temple in New Delhi takes the religious symbolism of the lotus to a whole new level. The Lotus-shaped temple or Baha’i House of Worship is a unique modern structure set in manicured gardens, and an average of 8,000 to 10,000 people of all faiths visit it every day. You are encouraged to admire the interior of the Prayer Room (silently...since this is a place for meditation) on a self-guided tour, after which you can visit the Information Center to learn all about the Baha’i religion and the history of the Temple – short introductory films in both Hindi and English are available.
