Yahya Yuhana Mandi (officially registered as Mandi Yehya Youhanna[1]) is a Mandaean temple (mandi) in Prestons, New South Wales, Australia.[2] It is named after John the Baptist, who is known as Yahya Yuhana in Mandaic.[3][4][5]
Unlike Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi, which does not have an indoor baptismal pool, Yahya Yuhana Mandi has an indoor baptismal pool utilizing pumped flowing water that is used for masbuta and ablutions (tamasha and rishama). It is similar to a modern Jewish mikveh. The mandi also contains artwork by Yuhana Nashmi.
