The Bahá’í House of Worship in New Delhi, which is considered as India’s symbol of communal harmony by the Government of India, was dedicated to the people of India and all humanity in December 1986.
Under its dome, people from all walks of life come and pray from various Holy Scriptures in supplication to the one Creator of all humanity. The Bahá'í House of Worship provides opportunities for children, junior youth and youth and adults to participate in spiritual classes for their all round growth and development. These activities exemplify the role of the Bahá'í House of Worship in integration of worship with service which is a cardinal principle of the Bahá'í Faith. The Bahá'í House of Worship also houses institutions of higher learning for intellectual training of the youth in order to prepare them for meaningful participation in social discourses. The contribution of the Bahá'í House of Worship to the Indian society gets its inspiration from this quotation from the writings of Bahá'u'lláh, "Is not the object of every Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself, both outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions?"
