Akshardham (Delhi)


Akshardham is a Hindu temple complex in Delhi, India.[1] The monument is also referred to as the Swaminarayan Akshardham or Delhi Akshardham. The Akshardham Monument displays 10,000 years of Indian and Hindu culture, ranging from traditions, spirituality, and architecture. The building was inspired and moderated by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual head of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, whose 3,000 volunteers alongside 7,000 artisans helped construct Akshardham.
The temple, which attracts seventy percent of all tourists who visit Delhi,[2] was officially opened on November 6, 2005. The building sits on the banks of the Yamuna River and is adjacent to the proposed 2010 Commonwealth Games village.[3] The monument features a large central monument crafted entirely of stone, exhibitions on incidents from the life of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the history of India, an IMAX feature, a musical fountain, and large landscaped gardens.
