Located in the southeast of Delhi, the Lotus Temple was built in 1986 and named after its shape resembling a blooming lotus flower. Although it is a Ha'i chapel, people of any race and religion can pray here, showing great inclusiveness. The temple is built with white marble, which looks like three layers of white petals from a distance, and the "lotus" is supported by nine clear water pools. The tall and empty temple has neither statues nor decorations such as carvings and murals. Rows of white marble benches and a podium for the chair were set on the smooth floor. There is no special ceremony required to enter the temple, and no matter what religion you have, anyone only needs to take off their shoes and enter the temple, sit down and meditate and pray.

Tranquil Majesty of Delhi's Lotus Temple 🪷My exploration of the Lotus Temple in Delhi was truly enchanting. Upon arrival, the architectural grandeur of the structure captivated me instantly. Amidst the city's hustle, the temple's serene aura offered a peaceful retreat. Inside, the lotus-shaped prayer hall evoked a profound sense of tranquility, its marble petals embracing worshippers in a harmonious embrace. The atmosphere encouraged introspection and spiritual contemplation. For a majority Hindu country, I was surprised that the temple was devoid of any religious symbols. The space is actually dedicated to people of all religions and I am a strong supporter of how this promotes unity and inclusivity. My visit to this tranquil oasis amidst the urban sprawl has indeed been a rejuvenating journey for my soul, and I truly enjoyed its serenity and beauty. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I want to visit Hong Kong as its culinary scene is a dream for food lovers like me. I'm excited to feast on Michelin-star dim sum at Tim Ho Wan, savor traditional wonton noodles at Mak's Noodle, and indulge in fresh seafood at Lei Yue Mun Seafood Village!wanderlust30005

Lotus Temple looks like a budding white lotus from the outside. It's really beautiful. It's free to enter inside. In summer, it's recommended not to go in because it's really hot to wear slippers.
