Hi,
General facts about the lotus temple are already mentioned in the above comments. Here, I describe details of a stone used in this great structure. Encouraged by the lotus flower, the design of Lotus Temple for the House of Worship in New Delhi is composed of 27 free-standing marble-clad “petals” arranged in clusters of three to form nine sides.
The nine doors of the Lotus Temple open onto a central hall slightly more than 40 meters tall. The surface of the House of Worship is made of white marble from the mountain in Greece, the same marble from which many ancient monuments (including the Parthenon and other Bahas Houses of Worship are built). Along with its nine surrounding ponds and gardens, the Lotus Temple property comprises 26 acres.
The architect was an Iranian, Fariborz Sahba who now resides in Canada. He was approached in 1976 to design the Lotus Temple and later oversaw its construction. It is one of the highest quality of marble, on which many monuments and idols of Greek Gods and Goddess are made.
Thank you.
