<span class="mw-page-title-main">Baháʼí House of Worship</span> Place of worship for the Baháʼí Faith

A Bahá'í House of Worship or Bahá'í temple is a place of worship of the Baháʼí Faith. It is also referred to by the name Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, which is Arabic for "Dawning-place of the remembrance of God". Bahá'í Houses of Worship are open to both Bahá'ís and non-Bahá'ís for prayer and reflection. All Bahá'í Houses of Worship have a round, nine-sided shape and are surrounded by nine pathways leading outwards and nine gardens. Baháʼí scriptures envisage Houses of Worship surrounded by a number of dependencies dedicated to social, humanitarian, educational, and scientific pursuits, although no Bahá'í House of Worship has yet been built up to that extent. At present, most Bahá'í devotional meetings occur in individuals' homes or local Bahá'í centres rather than in Bahá'í Houses of Worship.
