![]() ![]() | Lotus Temple This is building in India. I've been there many times when I used to live in India. I was in this real estate section and I thought why not showcase this. Lots of places in the world have been showcased here so why not something nice from india as well. The reason I chose this is because everyone knows about the main attraction of india, Taj Mahal, but not many people know this building/temple. Your thoughts? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() | Re: Lotus Temple Definitely, it's a really peacefull place. It's in New Delhi, India and I think the contruction was completed in 1986. Quote:
Am I a Bahai? Nah, I'm a Sikh. But to be truthfull I'm not very religous. I believe in a an entity that is more powerful than myself but I don't beleive in scriptures. I beleive that as long as you are a good and honest person then you will have a fruitfull life. | |
