On the Lotus Temple: Impressive to say the least

Each of the Baha'i Houses of Worship on the planet is a "silent teacher." Kurt visits the Lotus Temple outside New Delhi, India, and blogs about it. -gw
I autorickshawed it again to the amazing Baha'i Temple in the south of the city. One of my good friends (Hi Ryan!) is Baha'i, and I've always been interested in learning more about the religion. And the temple in Delhi is definitely the place to do so. The impressive structure is shaped like a lotus flower and surrounded by nine pools. The inner sanctuary holds about 2000 people, and the ceiling arches high above the chapel, creating amazing acoustics. It was impressive to say the least.
