Bahá'í Holy Writings say, "There is one God; mankind is one; the foundations of religion are one. ....the purpose of places of worship and edifices for adoration is simply that of unity, in order that various nations, divergent races, varying souls, may gather there and among them amity, love and accord may be realized."

Based on the above writings, the Lotus Temple or the Bahai Temple is raised in the heart of New Delhi, the capital of India, the newest architectural marvel of the Bahai faith.
