The Sabian–Mandaean Mandi of Baghdad (Arabic: مندي الصابئة المندائية), also known as Mandae Sabean Mandae, is a Mandaean temple in Baghdad, Iraq.[1] It is located on the banks of the Tigris River in the Al-Qadisiyah neighborhood . Rishama Sattar Jabbar Hilo is the official head of the mandi.[2] The mandi serves as main and administrative center for the Iraqi Mandaeans.[3]
In the early 1980s, the mandi was built on land originally owned by the Iraqi Ministry of Finance that was allocated to the Mandaean community, with an area of approximately 1,200 square metres. It has ritual halls and a guesthouse to receive and accommodate visitors.[4][2][5]
History
[edit]Since the old mandi was no longer sufficient for the community’s needs, in addition to the futility of spending on it for maintenance purposes,[6] therefore, the community decided, with the approval of the Three Religious Endowments Office, to demolish it and rebuild it according to modern designs with an architectural character that preserves its religious style.[6]
