Lotus Temple |
|
|
 of the most
beautiful temples in India, the 40 m high Bahai Temple is also
known as Lotus Temple as it is built in the shape of a
half-opened Lotus flower. Completed in 1986, this pure white
marble temple is also known as Taj of Modern India. Surrounded
by carefully manicured lawns, it has been constructed using
marble, cement, sand and dolomite. The temple structure has 27
giant white marble petals and nine pools indicative of the
nine unifying spiritual paths of the Baha'i faith, which
believes in oneness of all religions and mankind. The faith
emphasizes on prayer, described as 'Conversation with God' and
meditation, described as 'Key for opening the doors of
mysteries'.
The temple represents the broad views and scientific ideas of
Baha`i faith and signifies the purity and the universality of
the lord. A perfect silence is maintained in the main hall of
prayer to allow the devotees to meditate and pray peacefully
and tranquilly without being disturbed. It is said that about
four million people visit it daily. Situated on Bahapur Hills,
it is the seventh Baha'i houses of worship in the world. The
temple looks all the more divine in the night when the colored
lights impart it a multihued look. One can visit the temple
from Tuesday to Sunday between 10.00 am to 4.00 pm
