Dream and travel

This is one of the most beautiful temples in India. The Lotus Temple is situated the suburb of New-Delhi. Previously it was a mystical place called "Baha pur" that meant "Baha's place". 450 years ago Shah Akbar, one of the greatest leaders of the Mughal dynasty dreamt to create one universal palace to unite Indian people from all walks of life under one faith and belief. "And I had a dream that stone by stone, I built a sacred temple. Not a pagoda and a mosque and a church, but something spiritual where the gates open were open to everyone. The breath of heaven and truth and love and peace and justice found and settled in it." Many people call this place "The mother" of all Indian temples. Bahai temple is open to all people regardless their religion. There you can meet the volunteers but not the priests. Bahai Temple is open to all people regardless of religion. There you can meet volunteers but not priests. Their functions include maintenance of the temple and the reception of visitors; They also develop and conduct a day prayer program, which include reciting prayers and scripture (like the Baha'i Faith and other religions), as well as the singing of prayers a cappella. Anyone can also enter the temple to pray on their own. Each temple has nine entrances, symbolizing openness to all humanity. To enter the temple you should take off your shoes. The storage of your shoes as well as the entrance is absolutely free. It's it incredibly silent inside the temple because it's not allowed to speak loudly, take photo or video. Under the dome to the Lotus there is a big golden Bach's sign and several rows of seats around it where you can sit in peace and silence. The temple can accommodate up to 1,300 people. It is always very crowded around the temple with a lot of tourists. And if you want to feel the peace of soul and see the magnificent work of architecture you should visit the Lotus Temple in India.
