About This Attraction
The Lotus Temple in Delhi is a Baháí House of Worship that stands out for its unique architectural design resembling a blooming lotus flower. It is made up of 27 free-standing marble-clad petals, arranged in clusters to form nine sides. This modern structure, completed in 1986, welcomes people of all faiths to experience its tranquil atmosphere and reflect on spirituality. The temple is surrounded by lush gardens, providing a peaceful retreat from the citys hustle.
For visitors planning a trip, its important to note the Lotus Temple opening hours. The temple operates from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM during winter months and extends its closing time to 7:00 PM in summer. Admission is free, making it an accessible attraction for everyone. However, visitors should remember that silence is observed inside the temple to maintain its serene environment.
