Temple of All Religions

The Temple of All Religions is a special building in Kazan, Russia. It is also called the Universal Temple. This amazing place is not a regular church, mosque, or synagogue. Instead, it brings together many different religious styles in one big structure.

A local artist named Ildar Khanov started building it in 1992. He was also a philanthropist, which means he liked to help others. The Temple of All Religions is still being built today.

Ildar Khanov said this building is a "temple of culture and truth." It shows how different cultures and religions can live together peacefully. Kazan is proud of this mix, with its Islamic Tatar culture and Orthodox Russian culture. Many tourists visit the Temple, and some people even came to ask Khanov for help.

When it is finished, the Temple will have 16 domes. Each dome will represent one of the 16 main religions from around the world. This includes religions that are no longer practiced today.
