Lotus Temple ka Itihas
Lotus Temple New Delhi ke Kalkaji mein sthit hai. Ye apni anokhi flower shape ke liye puri duniya mein mashhoor hai. Ye Bahá'í Faith ka upasana sthal hai.
Construction aur Architect
Iska nirman 1986 mein pura hua tha. Ise Iran ke mashhoor architect Fariborz Sahba ne design kiya tha. Ise banane mein us samay lagbhag 1 crore dollar ka kharch aaya tha.
Kamal (Lotus) ka Aakar Kyu?
Architect ne dekha ki Lotus flower Hindu, Buddhist, Jain aur Islam sabhi dharmo mein pavitrata (purity) aur shanti ka prateek hai. Isliye 'Unity in Diversity' dikhane ke liye unhone ise aadhe khile hue kamal ka aakar diya.
Architecture
Is mandir mein 27 khadi pankhudiyan (Petals) hain jo Greece se laye gaye marble se dhaki hain. Bahá'í dharam mein 9 number shubh mana jata hai, isliye iske 9 darwaze aur 9 pani ke talaab hain.
Religious Importance
Yahan koi murti ya photo nahi hai aur na hi koi puja-path hota hai. Ye mandir sabhi dharmo ke logo ke liye khula hai. Log yahan shanti se baithkar dhyaan (meditation) karne aate hain.
