Lotus Temple, New Delhi




On the difference between the ideals of “architecture” and mere “construction”, the renowned 20th century architect Le Corbusier wrote: “You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: This is beautiful. That is architecture”.

It is an enchanting monument in New Delhi. I visited last year and now also planning to visit with my family this weekends.
