India is a known as a country of hundreds of religions and communities and the Bahá’í House of Worship is a symbol of such tolerance and respect. Built in 1997, in the shape of a white lotus, it is surrounded by nine crystal blue pools of water and lush green lawns. The idea is to create an illusion of a white lotus floating in water.

Aside from religious aspect of it, thousands tourists come everyday to view and enjoy the mammoth lotus structure built out of marble with the red sandstone pathways.
