Some religious buildings in Delhi

Delhi has so many religious places of worship, it is hard to select, so I have photographed some of the best known. They all require you to go barefooted within. 


One of the towers of Jama Masjid



Jama Masjid Mosque. Built by Shah Jahan in 1650



Jama Masjid



Bahai Lotus Temple. As distinctive as Sydney Opera House. Half opened lotus 
petals. Designed by Canadian Arthur Ericson. Built in 1986.  It is one of the new religions
of the world, with bits and pieces of existing religions stitched together.



The Sikh Temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. I had a wonderfully large
 and nourishing meal on my last visit here 



Interior of the temple



Birla Mandir, also known as Lakshmi Narayan Temple. Built in the 1930's by
a wealthy industrialist in the Orissa style.



Kalkajimandir. A very large Hindu temple
