Center of India Tower, also known as World Centre for Vedic Learning, was an envisioned supertall skyscraper that would have been built in Jabalpur, India. If it had been built, the tower would have been the the tallest building in India and the second tallest in the world behind Burj Dubai^[1]. Besides being among the tallest structures, the building would have been the largest structure in the world by mass; its estimated width was 1,111 ft^[2]. The building's construction would have been financed by Hindu spiritual leader, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi^[3]. The building's design was greatly influenced by Hindu temple architecture. If it had been built, the World Centre for Vedic Learning would have been completed in 2007.
