I LOVE INDIA : LOTUS TEMPLE

Hello steemers , I hope everyone doing great in The pink of health. I am Ruchii , today I will write a post about my experience in Lotus Temple. However India is an incredible country and to choose a favourite place in India is very hard. As all places of India too beautiful to see. I love every corner of India and I want to make memory with every place in India. So today I share my experience of one of my favourite place that is Lotus Temple. I used to visit Lotus Temple once in a year as it's my favourite. Without any further delay start my experience.

SOMETHING ABOUT LOTUS TEMPLE

The 'Lotus Temple' is located in New Delhi, India. It is a Baha'is House of Worship. The beautiful Lotus shaped Temple was opened in the year 1986, and since then has invited a number of visitors to its premises. The Lotus Temple is open to people of all faith.

The entry to the temple is through a gate that leads to a pathway with landscaped gardens on both side. We have to take off our shoes and deposit them in the shoe keeping centre. From there, we have to stand in a queue and should wait for our turn.

Once inside, complete silence and peace will take over. People of different religions sit and pray there. The inside hall has nine doors and a capacity to seat 2500 people at one time.

The Lotus Temple has won numerous architectural awards and been featured in hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles. Notable for its flowerlike shape, it serves as the Mother Temple of the Indian subcontinent and has become a prominent attraction in the city.

There is no specific God that is worshipped in this temple. According to the Baha’i Faith, this house of worship is an open space for every kind of person regardless of religion. There are no restrictions as to who can enter the temple and who cannot enter the temple.

A lot of tourists visit this temple when they go to Delhi. The best times to visit are between 9.00 am and 5.30 p.m. You can also visit Lotus Temple on any day apart from Monday. While you are here, you will enjoy the serenity, the enchanting water pools, and the lovely gardens. There are no entrance charges.

     MY EXPERIENCE

I have visited Lotus Temple many time but the last time I visited in July 2019. I went with my mother and my sister. My sister is older than me but she is like my best buddy. He went by cab as my sister she lives in Delhi.

As we entered inside the gate complex, I saw the great view of temple from a distance.I just got more and more eager to see what inside as I walk through that lovely park. The Park area was completely green and clean. The view was mesmerizing. While we are going near the temple we click a lot of pictures.

As bridge near the temple firstly we deposited our shoes in the shoe corner and then we was standing in the queue for entering Temple gate. Before entering the temple the volunteers of Lotus Temple gave some instruction as to keep our phone on silent mode and not to make any sound. As I entered the temple I saw benches were kept to sit people..... As we saw there is no god to worship we just said there with silence as many people try to meditate one inside the lotus so we don't wanna be disturbing them..... But there was a Kid and suddenly he started shouting "Bhagwanji kidhar hai"....
It was a nice and wonderful experience inside the lotus. After that we click picture from coming out of the lotus near swimming pool side.

After that we came out of the temple and went to the Kalkaji Mandir which is nearest to Lotus Temple.
So that's about today's topic about Lotus Temple and this is what I experience and know about the Lotus Temple I hope you all will like it.
