There is a Baha'i "mother" temple on each continent with another now under construction in Chile. These temples are erected for all people, regardless of religion, as places of quiet solitude for meditation and prayer. Baha'i temples, or Houses of Worship, are future centers of social institutions such as a hospital, school, university, orphanage, etc. These services are being carried out by Baha'is in locations where such services do not exist and the need is greatest. Houses of Worship will eventually be built in those places too.
Each temple is nine-sided, nine being the highest single digit therefore representing unity. See link below for photos of the existing Baha'i Houses of Worship. Plans are underway to begin building Houses of Worship on national and local levels.
