Lotus Temple is built like to resemble a lotus flower. It is the last of the seven Major Bahai’s temples present around the world. Built-in 1986, the structure is made up of pure white marble.

The memorial bear names of more than 13,516 Indian and British soldiers killed the Afghan war of 1919, in the Northwestern Frontier.
