Shapes are powerful way to express. It Emphasize and create entry points and areas of interest. The octagon shape we chose to put together places of worship for eight major religions with a common cultural center/temple in the middle of the site depicts the strength of our organization. Octagon shape is a symbol of excellence. All sides of octagon are of same lengths and all interior angles are equal which we translate to that all religions are equal. Trees and water is used to provide shade and coolness, satisfaction of thirst and of desires. Trees have importance and value beyond being a valuable crop. A tree's benefit includes sound abatement, oxygen production, shade and protection from soil erosion.

In the center, a four shell-roofed structure temple will be of different heights to symbolize the ascending planes of Spiritual and Echelon. Each structure also represents two folded hands signifying prayer to God and Peace on Earth. The highest structure which represents the main sanctum symbolizes the plane of eternal supreme. The cultural center will be attached with the temple and will provide all the required amenities for at least 30,000 guests.

Christianity is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on teachings of Jesus as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings. The mainstream Christians believe in Jesus Christ.

Our building design includes four basic functions of a Christian Church i.e. Evangelism, Edification, Worship and Social Concern. A cross is a perfect shape which includes all four functions.
Christianity started out as a breakaway sect of Judaism nearly 2000 years ago. Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary and her husband Joseph, but conceived through the Holy Spirit, was bothered by some of the practices within his native Jewish faith and began preaching a different message of God and religion. During his travels he was joined by twelve disciples who followed him in his journeys and learned from him. He performed many miracles during this time and related many of his teachings in the form of parables. Among his best known sayings are to "love thy neighbor" and "turn the other cheek." At one point he revealed that he was the Son of God sent to Earth to save humanity from our sins. This he did by being crucified on the cross for his teachings. He then rose from the dead and appeared to his disciples and told them to go forth and spread his message. Since Christianity and Judaism share the same history up to the time of Jesus Christ, they are very similar in many of their core beliefs. There are two primary differences. One is that Christians believe in original sin and that Jesus died in our place to save us from that sin. The other is that Jesus was fully human and fully God and as the Son of God is part of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. All Christians believe in heaven and that those who sincerely repent their sins before God will be saved and join Him in heaven. Belief in hell and satan varies among groups and individuals.

Many Buddhists believe that world peace can only be achieved if we first establish peace within our minds. Siddhārtha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, said, “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” The idea is that anger and other negative states of mind are the cause of wars and fighting. Buddhists believe people can live in peace and harmony only if we abandon negative emotions such as anger in our minds and cultivate positive emotions such as love and compassion.

Buddhist temples (or stupas) are designed to represent the five major elements of Buddhism. The pinnacle at the top represents wisdom. Wisdom represent the Buddha and the Buddhas teachings. The base of the temple or the plinth represents earth. Earth is important to the Buddhist religion because earth signifies solidity and durability. Water which in a Buddhist temple is represented by the dome, signifies liquid, fluid and moisture. The crescent of a Buddhist temple represents air, air in Buddhism symbolizes movement and openness. Last of the elements, fire is represented by the spire. Fire in Buddhism represents energy and warmth. Buddhist temples can be referred to as stuapas or paragodas. Stupas are supposed to represent the first stuppa that was erected over the ashes of Buddha. A typical stupa shrine room contains offerings of lights, food, fruits and incense. They also may contain carpets (similar to the Hindus), many images of the Buddha, and a seat for the meditation teacher. Offerings can symbolize many different ideas and thoughts. Light from candles represents understanding towards others. A shell from the sea represents sound and music. Food, symbolizes taste. Incense and perfumes represent the sense of smell. Water too has many different meanings. It can symbolize touch, offering, healing, purification, satisfaction of thirst and of desires.

Mosque is a place of worship for the follower of Islam. The common features in a Mosque are, Ablution facilities, Prayer halls for men and women, Mihrab facing Mecca and one or more Minarets at the corner of the Mosque to call Worshippers for prayer. The layout of Mosque is usually square or sometimes rectangle.

Islam was founded in 622 CE by Muhammad the Prophet, in Makkah (also spelled Mecca). Though it is the youngest of the world's great religions, Muslims do not view it as a new religion. They belief that it is the same faith taught by the prophets, Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus. The role of Muhammad as the last prophet was to formalize and clarify the faith and purify it by removing ideas which were added in error. The two sacred texts of Islam are the Qur'an, which are the words of Allah 'the One True God' as given to Muhammad, and the Hadith, which is a collection of Muhammad's sayings.

Muslims follow a strict monotheism with one creator who is just, omnipotent and merciful. They also believe in Satan who drives people to sin, and that all unbelievers and sinners will spend eternity in Hell. Muslims who sincerely repent and submit to God will return to a state of sinlessness and go to Paradise after death. Alcohol, drugs, and gambling should be avoided and they reject racism. They respect the earlier prophets, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, but regard the concept of the divinity of Jesus as blasphemous and do not believe that he was executed on the cross.

Judaism teaches that at some future time a Messiah will rise up to bring all Jews back to the Land of Israel, followed by everlasting global peace and prosperity. This idea originates from passages in the Tanakh and rabbinic interpretations. All synagogues require an amud (Hebrew for "post" or "column"), a desk facing the Ark from which the Hazzan (reader, or prayer leader) leads the prayers.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i faith all originated with a divine covenant between the God of the ancient Israelites and Abraham around 2000 BCE. The next leader of the Israelites, Moses, led his people out of captivity in Egypt and received the Law from God. Joshua later led them into the promised land where Samuel established the Israelite kingdom with Saul as its first king. King David established Jerusalem and King Solomon built the first temple there. In 70 CE the temple was destroyed and the Jews were scattered throughout the world until 1948 when the state of Israel was formed.

Jews believe in one creator who alone is to be worshipped as absolute ruler of the universe. He monitors peoples activities and rewards good deeds and punishes evil. The Torah was revealed to Moses by God and can not be changed though God does communicate with the Jewish people through prophets. Jews believe in the inherent goodness of the world and its inhabitants as creations of God and do not require a savior to save them from original sin. They believe they are God's chosen people and that the Messiah will arrive in the future, gather them into Israel, there will be a general resurrection of the dead, and the Jerusalem Temple destroyed in 70 CE will be rebuilt.

“All beings and creatures are His; He belongs to all” (Guru Granth Sahib). Gurus furthermore preached to “Sing the Praise of the One, the Immaculate Lord; He is contained within all” (Guru Granth Sahib). “The special feature of the Sikh of the Guru is that he goes beyond the framework of caste-classification and moves in humility. It consists of the Nishan Sahib, a holy flag at the entrance to the Gurdwara which acts as a welcome banner to visitors signifying the house of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It is a sign of both the spiritual and political freedom that is central to Sikhism. A Diwan Hall is the hall in which the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is present. A Langar Hall where langar (the vegetarian meal) is prepared and shared by the sangat (congregation). All the work involved in preparing, cooking and serving the langar meal is done through Sewa, the voluntary and selfless service for others. A Sach Khand is the rest area for the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is treated as a living Guru and in the evening the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is wrapped in clean cloth and respectfully carried on someone's head to the Sach Khand. In the morning the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is brought back into the Diwan Hall where Nitname is recited.

Bahá'í Faith beleives in unity of humanity. With specific regard to the pursuit of world peace, Bahá'u'lláh of the Bahá'í Faith prescribed a world-embracing collective security arrangement as necessary for the establishment of a lasting peace. The Universal House of Justice wrote about the process in The Promise of World Peace.

The Sikh faith was founded by Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the Punjab area, now Pakistan. He began preaching the way to enlightenment and God after receiving a vision. After his death a series of nine Gurus (regarded as reincarnations of Guru Nanak) led the movement until 1708. At this time these functions passed to the Panth and the holy text. This text, the Shri Guru Granth Sahib, was compiled by the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh. It consists of hymns and writings of the first 10 Gurus, along with texts from different Muslim and Hindu saints. The holy text is considered the 11th and final Guru.

Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion, closely tied to nature, which recognizes the existance of various "Kami", nature dieties. The first two deities, Izanagi and Izanami, gave birth to the Japanese islands and their children became the deities of the various Japanese clans. One of their daughters, Amaterasu (Sun Goddess), is the ancestress of the Imperial Family and is regarded as the chief deity. All the Kami are benign and serve only to sustain and protect. They are not seen as separate from humanity due to sin because humanity is "Kami's Child." Followers of Shinto desire peace and believe all human life is sacred. They revere "musuhi", the Kami's creative and harmonizing powers, and aspire to have "makoto", sincerity or true heart. Morality is based upon that which is of benefit to the group.

Taoism was founded by Lao-Tse, a contemporary of Confucius in China. Taoism began as a combination of psychology and philosophy which Lao-Tse hoped would help end the constant feudal warfare and other conflicts of his time. His writings, the Tao-te-Ching, describe the nature of life, the way to peace and how a ruler should lead his life. Taoism became a religion in 440 CE when it was adopted as a state religion.

Tao, roughly translated as path, is a force which flows through all life and is the first cause of everything. The goal of everyone is to become one with the Tao. Tai Chi, a technique of exercise using slow deliberate movements, is used to balance the flow of energy or "chi" within the body. People should develop virtue and seek compassion, moderation and humility. One should plan any action in advance and achieve it through minimal action. Yin (dark side) and Yang (light side) symbolize pairs of opposites which are seen through the universe, such as good and evil, light and dark, male and female. The impact of human civilization upsets the balance of Yin and Yang. Taoists believe that people are by nature, good, and that one should be kind to others simply because such treatment will probably be reciprocated.

The founder of the Jain community was Vardhamana, the last Jina in a series of 24 who lived in East India. He attained enlightenment after 13 years of deprivation and committed the act of salekhana, fasting to death, in 420 BCE. Jainism has many similarities to Hinduism and Buddhism which developed in the same part of the world. They believe in karma and reincarnation as do Hindus but they believe that enlightenment and liberation from this cycle can only be achieved through asceticism. Jains follow fruititarianism. This is the practice of only eating that which will not kill the plant or animal from which it is taken. They also practice ahimsa, non-violence, because any act of violence against a living thing creates negative karma which will adversely affect one's next life.
