Far away from the commotion of Chandni Chowk, my second day of Delhi Darshan took me on a visit to the Baha'i House of Worship. Sheltered in the heart of South Delhi, the Lotus Temple is one of the most prominent tourist places in the national capital. Inspired by the lotus flower, the temple is open to everyone regardless of their religious background, gender, and other such distinctions. One of the seven Baha'i Houses of Worship around the world, once in the prayer hall of this marvellous structure guests are allowed to chant scriptures of any other religion.
