Seeking Enlightenment at the Lotus Temple
August 3, 2011 | Uncategorized
Delhi is one of the most popular cities to visit in the world, and provides a great tourist attraction. The Bah’ House of Worship or Lotus Temple, is a rather sizable attraction created in 1986. Since that year, there’s been over 5 million visits yearly to that particular place. It provides a peaceful place of enlightenment for all people regardless of religion. Everyone is welcome, and the readings and prayers are allowed with choirs.
Structurally, it’s a really impressive work of art having the presence of a giant lotus in the bloom. This particular structure focuses on a 9 sided circular shape, which is different from other Bah’ Houses of Worship. It’s made out of a nice concrete frame and the whole property takes up 26 acres if the surround structures are included such as the ponds and gardens.
A lot of tourists go here each year especially holy days where there is as much as 150,000 people attending. CNN considers the temple the most visited place in the world. Some known visitors include Princess Margarita of Romania, and “lafur Ragnar Grmsson, the President of Iceland. This remains the top attraction of India with more visitors than the Taj Mahal.
