The Ba'hai Temple in South Delhi receives more visitors than the Taj Mahal or the Eiffel Tower. Like all Ba'hai temples it is 9 -sided and being asian is built in the shape of a Lotus. It is a long way out and we only just made the last visit at sunset. Inside it feels very much like Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral as the light comes from the low side windows and the stained glass at the top but without the busy additional catholic imagery. A series of lakes surround it. It was stunning at sunset as the sun faded behind it. We were chucked out at 6 and would have needed to hang round for about an hour to see it lit up in the dark so we went back.
