The Vishalakshi Mantap is the focal point of the
Art of Living International Center, Bangalore,
India. This beautifully crafted architectural
marvel has been conceived and designed by Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar.
This magnificent structure of the thousand-
petals fame, with an entirely white marble
floor and a lotus-shaped edifice is a wonderful
blend of Vedic architecture and modern
technology .
The Mantap known for its intricate
craftsmanship, stunning illumination and elegant
décor was built with the dedicated efforts of
7,000 workers and volunteers. The glass dome
that tops the building is adorned with a
magnificent 'kalash' -- 15 feet 3 inches high
- the tallest in Asia.
