Lotus Temple

  • Best time3:00-5:30PM (afternoon light from the west, warm tones on white marble)

The iconic Baha'i House of Worship shaped like an unfurling lotus in white Pentelikon marble. The 27 petal-shaped shells rise 34 metres from reflecting pools. Afternoon light from the west gives the white petals warm golden tones and deep shadow definition between the shells. Overcast days produce even, flattering light without harsh shadows.
