Brief history.

The history of the temple origins way back in 1946 when Ugandan Dr. Ernest Kalibala one of Uganda’s first PhDs then associated with the New York Bahai Centre. Members of the Bahai faith came in Kampala on August 3, 1951. In December, the first two Ugandans became Christians. In 1958, 52 acres of land in a quiet part of Kampala were bought, and work began. It took four years to finish, and the building is still there today on Kikaya hill.

Bahai Temple in Uganda was formally opened to the public in January 15, 1962, which is the very year when Uganda got its independence. The temple was built on a hill in the shape of a dome. The inside of the dome is painted a pale blue colour, and it can hold up to 800 people. The building is 44 feet in diameter, and it is held up by nine big pillars and 27 smaller ones. The environment around the Bahai temple calms the mind and pleases the senses. It is surrounded by a peaceful flower garden that is a good place to relax in the evening, and it has flora of different heights, colours, textures, and smells.

So, you can’t do anything wrong once you enter this place of worship.

Bahai Faith is unique and not very well known in Uganda, but it is talked about in a number of media. The Bahai faith offers a lot of theological, social, and spiritual ideas that were set up by Bahaullah, who is thought to be the founder of this religion, and have been clarified by leaders who came after him.

Theological statements about God, his messengers, and people are part of the Bahai teachings. There are also social teachings, such as the equality of all people regardless of gender, race, or class, the harmony of science and religion, and the end of extremes of wealth and poverty. This principle of the Bahai temple makes it sound real, if only people would try to understand it more. The “three onenesses” are the three most important beliefs of the Bahai Faith. They are the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Religion, and the Oneness of Humanity, which makes sense.
