Order of the Solar Temple
The Order of the Solar Temple (, OTS) and the International Chivalric Organization of the Solar Tradition, or simply as The Solar Temple, is a cult and religious sect that claims to be based upon the ideals of the Knights Templar. OTS was started by Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret in 1984 in Geneva as "l'Ordre International Chevaleresque de Tradition Solaire" (OICTS) and later renamed "Ordre du Temple Solaire".
