It is situated in Place of Kalkaji in South Delhi, near to Kalkaji Temple.The well-known place to visit Pilgrimage Centre, where people from all the faith approach for meditation and obtaining peace. Shaped like a Lotus, the Lotus Temple is situated in Kalkaji in the south of Delhi. Made of marble, dolomite, sand and cement, the temple is the modern architectural wonder of India. A perfect place for meditation and obtaining peace and calm, the temple is visited by people from all walks of life. The Lotus Temple is a very new architectural marvel of the Bahai faith. The Bahai Faith is the youngest of the world's self-governing religions. Its founder, Bahadullah (1817-1892), is regard by Bahais as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that include Buddha, Moses, Abraham, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.

The History of the Bahai Faith in India: The history of the Bahai Faith in India in progress with the beginning of the Faith in Iran when the Bab (literally, the Gate) inaugurated a new era in the history of the human race. The Bab Himself had selected one of the Indian believers as the 'Letter of Living' in 1844-45, the first year of His Ministry. Since then, India is morally allied with the Bahai Faith.

The Architecture Fariborz Sahba, Canadian architect of Iranian origin, spent 10 years in designing and project management, and with the help of a team of about 800 engineers, technicians, artisans and workers bring to sympathetic one of the most difficult constructions in the world. The structure of the House is composed of three ranks of nine petals; each springing from a podium inspiring the building above the surrounding plain. The first two ranks curve inward, embracing the inner dome; the third layer curves outward to form canopies over the nine entrances. The petals, construct of reinforced white concrete cast in place, are clad in white marble panels; perform to surface profiles and patterns linked to the geometry. Nine arches that offer the main support for the superstructure ring the central hall. Nine shiny pools enclose the building on the outside, their form suggesting the green leaves of the lotus flower. Translating the geometry of the design, in which there are almost no straight lines, into the actual structure accessible particular challenges in designing and erecting the framework.

The delicate and shiny architecture is built in two layers. The first layer consists of nine white marble-covered petals point out towards heaven, while the second layer of nine petals serves to hide the portals. When seen from a short distance, it looks like a tremendous example of origami work. The interior, especially, the Hall of Worship, conform to that of all Bahai temples and is so silent that even a low whisper echoes loudly in the structure. No religious icons are housed here separately from the copies of the Holy Scriptures and wooden pews. The structure of the temple was completed in 1986.
