in India. This is an beautifull piece of architecture constructed in Delhi.
The shape of the Building Resembles a bud of the lotus flower opening
out. Since a lotus is found in water thus water pools have been provided
on all the sides of the temple. The building interior is kept cool by
creating a natural air circulation wherein the air travels into the building
after flowing over the cool water surrounding it. Light travels into the
temple through openings created in between the opening petals which gives
you a heavenly feeling while sitting in it.
