It is constructed using a concrete frame and marble. The building has a diameter of 70 m, constructed of 27 marble-covered petals. Architect Fariborz Sahba studied various temples while working on the structure. Inspired by the local culture, the building takes the form of a lotus. Sahba was especially interested in depicting the purity within the temple. The pure white exterior from the marbles to the serene interior emphasizes such dedication. While the temple is for the Baha'i Faith, it is open to visitors. Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Expressionist
