Lotus of Bahapur
The personal recollections of Sheriar Nooreyezdan, member of the construction team.
The Bahá’í House of Worship - a magnificent white lotus glowing over the south Delhi horizon - welcomes thousands of visitors every day, from every nationality, race and religion.
The book traces the growth of the Lotus from the architect’s design to its completion, despite the constraints of the early eighties when scarcity of cement and steel had brought the construction industry to a standstill.
Its completion in 1986 represented the fruition of the aspiration of Indian Bahá’ís who petitioned ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in 1920 for permission to raise a Mashriqu’l-Adhkár (House of Worship). The prophetic response of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was that a majestic Mashriqu’l-Adhkár would be erected in one of the central cities of India in the future.
