One of the astounding architectures of the Bahai faith, Lotus Temple was constructed in 1986 to resemble a lotus flower. Popular as one of the India’s most stunning modern structures, this temple has been carved out of marble, sand, cement and dolomite. Living up to its name - The Lotus Temple is nine-sided that resembles lotus petals and adorned by a dazzling dome in the centre. Each of these petals are fashioned with white concrete and draped in white Greek marble. With a height of about 34 meters, the temple is embellished with green lawns and nine water pools. Sprawling in nearly 26.6 acres, the temple houses no idols or religious pictures. It is designated as one of the best meditation spots in the country due to its flawless and serene environment. Tourists can explore the nearby bazaars (markets) of the city like Chandni Chowk, Sarojini Nagar, Dilli Haat and Lajpat Nagar (Central Market).
