Sjennon sees the World #37 - The Lotus Temple in New Delhi, India
It's not the Sydney Opera House, but it has pointy things and is pretty too!
Unlike other places of worship which usually have an idol of a deity people pray to, asking for either forgiveness or something that they deeply desire, the Lotus Temple is a rather unique place of worship. It is known for its beautiful flower-like architecture and marvelous ambiance that make it a popular tourist attraction for people of all faiths. - India
Surrounded by nicely nurtured greenery, the temple makes a majestic appearance and is even seen from the Delhi metro. Personally, I love the architecture of this building. It's smooth, minimal and geometric. It is absolutely satisfying.
To make things more prominent, there's a big ass line of people before you even get into the temple itself. We're in India, what else did we expect though?
However, that doesn't deny the fact that the place still remains fancy. And with the waiting time, you have some time to click some pictures and enjoy the architecture.
Once you've taken your shoes off and got few instructions, you're allowed inside the temple. Honestly, it is one big room filled with chairs. The only decoration would be the circle at in the center of the ceiling.
All in all, I did like the temple a lot. You go inside because it's part of the experience, but not necessarily a must in my opinion. Though, entry is free, so on the other hand why the hell not?!

This is one of the most beautiful places in New Delhi @sjennon. Very peaceful as well! But in summers, it's difficult to stand outside even for 1 second. I used to go there frequently as my office was very near. It was also visible through my desk. Sadly I don't have any photo right now but we used to click many pictures especially during rainy season. :-)
a great trip, have a great day,if there is time please help me yes
