Google Earth image - where?

In a slight change from the excellent "Where was this photo taken?" thread, where is the following location?

Yes, Chowpatty it is. (apparently Chowpatty Beach is not the name, because Chowpatty means- beach, so beach beach??)

Everything in me is saying Delhi (it's reminding me of a photo I saw a while ago, and decided I must visit that place), but all the greenery????

But don't just say yes if it is in Delhi, wait for someone to get the name of the temple.

Would actually be 'Girgaum (or Girgaon) chaupatty' since it is in the Girgaum area.

think it may be the Lotus temple in Delhi, it kind of looks like a flower when seen from above... but all the greenery around is a bit confusing

It is indeed the Baha'i (Lotus) Temple in South Delhi. Your turn!

That is indeed simple - I will avoid answering it, except to say that the towers are not in India! (I'd kind of assumed that we were limiting the pics to India, given the forum title?)
