Take a tour of Lotus Temple in New Delhi, India – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
The Lotus Temple is a Baha’i house of worship in Delhi, India.
Renowned for its architecture, the grand temple has been visited by over 50 million people.
Clad with white Greek marble, it is a place for people of all religious faiths.
Since number nine is significant in the Baha’i faith, nine ponds encircle the house of worship.
Symmetry is also retained inside with concentric stars on the ceiling.
Three sets of nine petal-like clusters form the walls of the temple.
At night, the marble walls are lit up to create a truly spectacular vision.
