Bahá'í Houses of Worship
Bahá'í Houses of Worship, also known as Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, are places of worship for followers of the Bahá'í Faith. These structures are open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs, promoting unity and peace. Each House of Worship features a central dome and nine sides, symbolizing the oneness of humanity.
The first Bahá'í House of Worship was built in Wilmette, Illinois, in 1953. Today, there are several Houses of Worship around the world, including locations in India, Australia, and Germany. Each site serves as a center for prayer, meditation, and community gatherings, reflecting the Bahá'í principles of inclusivity and service.
