THE STORY
A Baháʼí House of Worship open to all
The Lotus Temple is a Baháʼí House of Worship at Bahapur in south Delhi. As at every Baháʼí House of Worship, anyone may enter regardless of religion, and its programmes are readings from the scriptures of several faiths. It is among the most visited sites in India and was placed on India's World Heritage tentative list in 2014.

Baháʼís in Bombay first sought permission to build a House of Worship in India in 1920, and land at Bahapur was bought in 1954. Fariborz Sahba, one of 45 architects in a worldwide competition, was selected in 1976. Engineering Construction Corporation, later part of Larsen & Toubro, began work in 1980, and it was dedicated on 24 December 1986.
