Wilmette: Baha'i Temple

We visited the Baha'i temple located in Evanston like two days ago. We happen to be in the area and my sister and her friend was like "You wanna go, you wanna go?" And I said "Why not?" So, we just hopped over for a short look at the temple building since it's supposed to be incredibly ornate.









Honestly, I know little about Baha'i, but I think the temple was incredible as it was funded entirely from donations and took like 30 years to construct. The exterior was richly decorated to awe and inspire. Once inside the temple, where silence is observed, it seemed extremely peaceful. And your line of sight is immediatelly drawn to the focal point, which is the dome.

I would say it's quite majestic. And it is also complemented by the many fountains, water features and beautifully manicured lawns and landscaping surrounding it.


Stay tuned for more.
