Read moreOverview Swaminarayan Akshardham is a monumental Hindu temple complex in New Delhi. Opened in 2005, it is a testament to traditional Indian art, architecture, and spirituality, built in honor of Swaminarayan (1781–1830), the founder of the Swaminarayan sect of Hinduism. More than just a temple, Akshardham is a spiritual and cultural campus that offers a multi-faceted experience, making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in Delhi.
Main Mandir: The central monument is a breathtaking structure built from pink sandstone from Rajasthan and Italian Carrara marble. It is a massive structure adorned with carvings of flora, fauna, deities, and dancers. It has 234 exquisitely carved pillars, nine domes, and over 20,000 sculptures of Hindu deities and sages. At the center of the main dome is a 11-foot-high gilded statue of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Sahaj Anand Water Show: The complex features a step-well-like structure called the Yagnapurush Kund, where a spectacular multimedia water show takes place after sunset. The show, which uses a combination of lights, lasers, fountains, and sound, narrates stories from the Upanishads. Exhibitions: There are three permanent exhibitions that offer an immersive and educational experience about Indian culture and the life of Swaminarayan. These include: Sahajanand Darshan: A Hall of Values that uses robotics and dioramas to showcase universal values like non-violence and perseverance. Neelkanth Darshan: An IMAX theater that screens a film about the pilgrimage of a young Swaminarayan. Sanskruti Darshan: A boat ride that takes visitors on a journey through 10,000 years of India's history and heritage. Gardens: The complex is surrounded by sprawling, lush gardens, including the "Garden of India," which features bronze statues of prominent Indian figures who have contributed to the nation's history and culture.
