universal sacred space, communal worship, forms, five major religions, symbolism, spiritual qualities.

This Research Aims to create concept of a universal sacred space by studying different perspectives of Architecture and spirituality. This Research begins with explaining worship spaces and Its characteristics, which looks into the religious and cultural richness by means of understanding forms, symbolism that defines sacred spaces. An extensive examination of the architectural characteristics that set worship spaces apart serves as the exploration's starting point. This study examines the spiritual qualities of places of worship. The intricate use of light, music, and space in these settings to evoke emotions such as transcendence, wonder, and reverence is shown. Additionally, it looks at how houses of worship design a setting that supports communal worship, prayer, and meditation in order to foster a deeper connection with God. It also looks into where and how did this worship start. Religion and spirituality have an enormous, lasting effect on people's lives everywhere, sometimes in positive ways and sometimes in adverse ways. This research aims to provide inclusive sacred space for all mankind. The aim is to create spaces with similarities of five major religions i.e., Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism. This study of similarities in all religion is done by researching on existing religious spaces and its case study experiences and perspective of different people about religion.
