About
Quick facts: Each white marble petal of this structure reaches a height of 40 meters and reflects the symbolic purity of the lotus flower. Each year, more than 6 million visitors come to admire the nature-inspired architecture that has no altar or religious images.
Highlights: The 27 petals of the flower are grouped into three sections of nine petals, creating a visual effect of perfect symmetry and natural harmony. Inside offers a deep silence incredibly rare in the heart of the busy city, inviting meditation and personal reflection.

- Dress modestly to respect the spiritual nature of the site.
- Bring shoes that are easy to remove as the interior requires walking barefoot.
