Or the Universal Temple is an architectural complex in the city of Kazan in Russia. The spiritual leader and designer of the temple is Eldar Khanov. The reason for establishing the temple was the incident of Eldar returning to life, according to his parents’ belief, in a strange accident in 1943. Eldar wanted to thank “God” by building a temple for all religions, according to his claim. The structure consists of several types of religious architecture, including Orthodox church, mosque, and synagogue. In 1940, in Staroye Arakchno, a town near the city of Kazan, Eldar was born, and in 1943 he died, or rather so his parents thought. Because before that, two of their sons died of hunger, and the Great Patriotic War was going on for the third year. Many people were dying from scarcity of food and exhausting work. Ildar mother, Manasi Khanov, used to sew shrouds for the dead from the bags in which gunpowder was transported. She also began sewing a shroud for the Eldar. But they did not rush to bury the little one, and on the third day he returned to life according to what his parents had prepared for him. His father, Manasi Khanov, had exchanged Ildar’s shoes for milk, and with this milk he “resurrected” his son and took care of him, according to his father’s belief. He discovered the boy Eldar talent in drawing. Because of the difficulty of life during that war, he used charcoal and beet red dyes instead, and instead of paper he used old newspapers. In 1960, he graduated from the Kazan Art Institute in the branch of large arts, and in 1968 he graduated from the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow, and became a member of the Union of Soviet Photographers. The Eldar traveled widely in the eastern countries. For his studies, he studied the arts of the peoples of the East, Buddhism, yoga and medical sciences in Tibet and China, and practiced medicine and energy healing. The idea of the temple was on the mind of the Eldar. When he returned to his homeland, Russia, he wanted to implement his ideas, and so in 1994 he began construction of the Temple of All Religions, consisting of 16 domes and 16 of the world major religions, including previous religions that are no longer practiced. The temple serves as a cultural, residence and worship centre
