Lotus Temple
Delhi’s Bahá’í House of Worship pairs a lotus-shaped marble exterior with a quiet prayer hall; its appeal is contemplative as well as architectural.
Why go
Walk around the petal-like shell and reflecting pools before entering the hall to experience the shift from the sculptural exterior to a space intended for silent prayer. The Information Centre adds context if the Bahá’í purpose of the building is as interesting to you as its form.
