Lotus Temple

Holy temples are omnipresent in the cities of India. Every town has more than one shrine, but very few of them are regularly visited by tourists. Needless to say, among the favorites are the Taj Mahal and the Temple of Lotus. Since we're all familiar with the earlier holy shrine, let's talk about the Lotus.

The design of the worship place is an adaptation of the arrangement of the petals of the beautiful lotus flower. Built in 1986, the temple is located in New Delhi. It's regarded as the mother of the all the temples in India and receives millions of visitors every year. The temple is sitting at a pedestal surrounded by green grassplots and alleys. All in all, they cover 26 acres of land.

It's said that lotus is a symbolism for purity and beauty and an embodiment of divinity. Apparently, the temple that bears the flower's design carries with it the same characteristics. The ethereal charm and simplicity of the place of worship invite pilgrims from all parts of the globe. The temple hasn't only become a representation of faith, but because of its astounding construction, engineers regard the holy place as a modern structure inspired by ancient abstraction. From afar, especially when the sun shines its brightest, the temple looks like a giant lotus flower shining in Delhi.
