Bahai Temple (Lotus Temple)

The Lotus Temple located atop of a hill in Kalkaji, in the south of Delhi, New Delhi, and is an architectural marvel built in the shape of a white lotus in half bloom. The 27 massive lotus petals lie at the confluence of nine pathways and pools reflecting the Bahai tradition that there are but nine ways to reach God.

The Bahá'í Faith is a monotheistic religion, Bahaism, founded by Bahá'u'lláh in 19th century at Persia, emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind. Bahá'í teachings emphasize the underlying unity of the major world religions. Religious history is seen to have unfolded through a series of divine messengers, each of whom established a religion that was suited to the needs of the time and the capacity of the people. These messengers have included Krishna, Abraham, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and others.

The doors of the Lotus Temple welcome people from all faiths, creeds, religions and faiths in keeping with the tradition of secularism. The Architect of the Bahá'í House of Worship is Mr. F. Sabha.

An amazing sculpure at the streets of Delhi in the mist, is like ghosts from the past, a complex of figures of poor from the revolution time...



Σε κάποιο επίπεδο όλοι είμαστε ταξιδιώτες και αναζητητές, αναζητούμε πάντα μία καλύτερη ζωή (δουλειά, σχέσεις, εμπειρίες) που διακρίνουμε αμυδρά στα βάθη του ορίζοντα..
Κάθε βήμα στο ταξίδι είναι γεμάτο κινδύνους και υποσχέσεις και παρόλο που πολλές φορές έχουμε υποστήριξη στις προσπάθειες μας πρέπει να ανιμετωπίσουμε μόνοι το πεπρωμένο μας.
Αυτή άλλωστε είναι και η απόλαυση του ταξιδιού!

  1. Maria,
    I think this was one of your life trips.
    Very adventure!!
    Very nice and interesting photos.
    I think that National Geographic and Discovery channel will discover you and call as a photographer. You must have a better camera for the quality of photos but regarding the photographic theme and the lay out is perfect.
    I wish you to have more trips as that.
