This is the Baha'i House of Worship; better known as the Lotus Temple. It is located in Delhi, India. In a general sense, the Baha'i faith could be called a "unitarian" belief. It welcomes anybody to worship under it's roof without restrictions of race or religion. No sermons are preached, no musical instruments are played inside, and there are no pulpits, altars, images, statues, or icons.
The temple itself was built to represent unity; it was designed with 27 leaves or petals in groups of three and nine entrances facing outwards. Why? Because the Baha'i scripture dictates nine sided geometry. Inside, the building is a single, huge hall 40 meters tall that can hold 2,500 people. The temple is surrounded by nine huge pools and 26 acres of gardens.
On Hindu Holy days, it may receive as many as 150,000 visitors. Between the time it was built in 1986 and 2002, it has received over 50,000,000 visitors, making it more popular that the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal! That breaks down to 4,000,000 visitors every year, 13,000 a day, and 9 every minute!
This is an astounding building!
