We start at the serene Lotus Temple, a Bahá’í House of Worship renowned for its striking lotus-shaped architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Unlike many traditional temples, the Bahá’í faith encourages people of all religions to gather in prayer and reflection together, emphasizing the unity of humanity and harmony between religions.
