RussiaTemple of all religions it is also known as the universal temple and the International Cultural Center of spiritual unity.
According to the author of this architectural landmark, the temple should become a symbol of religions, cultures and civilizations. Its construction began in 1994 by the artist and architect Ildar Khanov, but to date has not been completed, although work continues periodically. Barely appearing, this place has gained popularity among tourists as an architectural landmark.

No rituals and services are performed here, but you can visit the complex and see it from the inside (open to the public in 2017). Yoga practices, mantra chanting and other practices of Eastern religions, mainly from India, are also held here.
