Flowers of India - The Lotus Flower

The biggest flower in India and probably in the world! I stumbled on this magnificent Lotus flower in New Delhi. It is The Bahá'í House of Worship. Isn't it fantastic?

Built in 1986, 40 meters tall and it is capable to hold 2,500 people. It's number of visitors per year 4,5 million or 13 000 everyday!

More about the Bahá'í religion below.

The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God, Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
