The Bahai Temple is a marvel of modern architecture, and can be seen from several spots in south Delhi. The lotus flower of the temple signifies peace and purity. Bahai Temple in Delhi is a representation of the Manifestation of God, to the people of India. This ancient symbol has been given a contemporary form in the structure of the Bahai House of Worship. People from different races, religious backgrounds and culture come at this worship place in Delhi. It is also symbolic of the Bahai faith which is an independent world religion. The Bahai religion has got a broad outlook, humanitarian principles, and dynamic influence.
Bahai House of Worship are open to all people. Although the style of the architecture differ widely, the nine sides and central dome are common to all. They symbolize the unity in diversity of the human race. Devotional programs are quite simple. The program consists of prayers, meditations, and reading selected items from the sacred scriptures. Music is provided by unaccompanied choirs.
The Bahai is the youngest of the world's independent religions. The founder of this religion, Bahaullah (1817-1892), is regarded as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God. This list of messangers, it is believed, stretches back beyond recorded time and includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. When you visit Delhi, you can make a program to visit this beautiful place of peace and serenity.
