It has in the past few years become an iconic symbol of Delhi, the lotus-shaped bahai house of worship. built in 1986, an architectural marvel that attracts millions of tourists, this building has three rings of nine petals each: the innermost ring is of closed petals, the second ring of opening petals and the third ring of opened petals. Within is a place where 2,500 people can sit and pray in any way they like, silently, without disturbing others. There is no congregational leader or speech from the pulpit and no ceremonies. Just silence, and an inner journey.
