The temple is composed of nine \u201cluminous veils\u201d with nine bronze doors and nine pathways. The number nine holds a significance in the Bah\u00e1i faith and stands for unity and perfection. Between two pathways, there is a lily pond. The structure, when viewed from a certain height, transforms into a reflecting pool, greeting the incoming crowd. Since there was no space for circumambulation, as is there in a typical design of a Bah\u00e1i temple, when one views the structure from above, it appears to be frozen in the middle of a revolution. For the exterior of the building, Hariri wanted to use materials which wouldn\u2019t just reflect light but also glow from inside. He created a cast glass made of borosilicate which did the task of absorbing the light. To create the glow, he found a rare marble in the quarries of Portugal which completed the requirement for him.<\/p>\n<p>Enquire Now for <a
