The Lotus Temple is the Bahá'í House of Worship in New Delhi, India, celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary lotus flower-shaped architecture. Designed by Iranian-Canadian architect Fariborz Sahba and completed in 1986, the temple is constructed from 27 free-standing marble-clad petals arranged in clusters of three, forming a breathtaking white lotus rising from nine reflecting pools and lush gardens. Open to people of all faiths and backgrounds — a core principle of the Bahá'í Faith — the temple receives over 10,000 visitors daily and is one of the most visited buildings in the world. It has won numerous architectural awards and is considered one of the finest examples of modern religious architecture. This immersive 360° virtual tour lets you explore the prayer hall, surrounding gardens, and reflecting pools from your browser, completely free.
