Gurudwara Bangla Sahib Sikh Temple

We were brought into a room where each of us had to put on a headscarf in respect for the religion and the temple.

The praying hall:

The temple provides free vegetarian food to everybody. The people who were there looked happy and healthy and they probably come as spiritual members of the community. But in a city that is rapidly growing (current number: 13 million), an open, organized, clean and reliable free food source couldn't be more valuable.

The dining area:

We saw a wedding on the streets while on the way to dinner.

Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque)

We walked from the Red Fort with Moti Masjid as our destination. We braced through the chaotic streets and allies and it was definitely an unforgettable experience! The adrenaline rush, the honks, the sense of urgency, the yelling. It was like a re-enactment of Rush Hour. But it's a pity we reached the mosque a little too late and they only allowed us to view the mosque from the outside.

Nonetheless, here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

Lotus Temple

The Lotus Temple is a Bahai House of Worship and also a prominent attraction in Delhi. It was completed in 1986 and it's name is derived from the flowerlike architecture of the temple. The Temple is open to all, regardless of religion. There are a total of 9 sparkling ponds surrounding it.

The hall is a good and conducive place for people to meditate and pray. Photography and footwear is not allowed in the hall and silence is to be maintained at all times.
