Another one of Delhi’s iconic buildings is the Lotus Temple, a Bahá’í House of Worship. Completed in 1986, the temple welcomes people of all faiths to worship, regardless of denomination. The marble clad lotus-shaped exterior was chosen due to its significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Jainism. It symbolizes peace and prosperity.
