The structure of the inner leaves rise to an elevation of The structure of the inner leaf, comprising a cusp (ridge) and a re-entrant (valley). The structure of the interior is 18.2m wide in the entrance are and rises 7.8m above the level of the podium. The structure of outer leaf in the entrance zone to the temple is 15.4m wide and rises 22.5m above the podium. The diameters of the spheres have been fixed to satisfy the structural consideration of the varying thicknesses of the petals.įor the outer leaves, another group of spheres define the interior and exterior surfaces of the shells, but in this case the thickness of the shell is uniform: 1.33m thick toward the lower part and 2.55m toward the upper extreme. There is a group of spheres for the leaves of the entrance, some of which define the interior surfaces and others which define the exterior surfaces of the shells. The surfaces created by the shell on each side of the entrance-ways and the outer leaves are formed by spheres of different radii, with their centres located at different points of the interior of the building. The designers took over two and half years to complete the detailed drawings of the Lotus Temple.Ĭomplex geometry in simple terms describe below such as: The resultant geometry of structure was so complex. The structure shapes were translated into equations, which were then used as a basis for structural analysis and engineering drawings. The architect conceived the beautiful concept of the lotus, had to be converted/transfer into definable geometrical shapes such as spheres, cylinders, toroids and cones. Three groups of Nine shells springing from the podiumīy the help of geometry problem this typical structure design. One of the essential means of achieving the fixed objective was to anticipate problems in advance and to resolve them using test and Models. The complexity of the structure and the high level of labour necessary required a dynamic management with high grade of innovation. When views from inside each layer of ribs and shells disappears as it rises, behind the next, lower layer. The Lotus Temple in which the structure of inner leaves enclose the interior dome in a canopy made of crisscrossing ribs and shells of intricate pattern. The lotus temple is constructed based on the arcaded construction system. In The Lotus Temple each component is repeated nine times. The plans for the temple took two and half years to complete. One of these symbols is scared flower of the Indians: The Lotus Flower.įariborz Sahba developed the project for the temple inspired from the concept of flower which is symbolises for purity. These are the symbols which have emerged in other countries and religions. The concept of the temple is external difference between the various temples, they all show meaningful and sacred symbols common to all Indians religions. The temple is built on the highest area of the site. There are natural contours as well as manmade contours in the form of grass slope. The level difference between n-e and s-w is about 10.0m The Lotus Temple site is sloping down naturally towards north east direction. Tropical with great variations in temperature

The temple was constructed in the village of Bahapur, kalkaji, in south of New Delhi and to the west of Connaught place in Mandir Marg a secluded area of busting centre of Indias capital. The temple is open to people of all cultures, faiths, and languages. The temple structure like as the half open lotus flower, afloat surrounded by its leaves. It was completed in 1986 and serves as the mother temple of the India subcontinent. The Temple are well known for their architectural splendour and the temple constructed in Delhi is a continuation of this rich tradition. Lotus temple is also known by the BAHAI House of worship/ BAHAI FAITH.
