WHAT IS AKSHARDHAM'Akshardham' means the divine abode of God. It is hailed as an eternal place of devotion, purity and peace. Swaminarayan Akshardham at New Delhi is a Mandir – an abode of God, a Hindu house of worship, and a spiritual and cultural campus dedicated to devotion, learning and harmony. Timeless Hindu spiritual messages, vibrant devotional traditions and ancient architecture all are echoed in its art and architecture.The mandir is a humble tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781- 1830), the avatars, devas and great sages of Hinduism. The traditionally-styled complex was inaugurated on 6 November 2005 with the blessings of HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj and through the devoted efforts of skilled artisans and volunteers. Each element of Akshardham echoes with spirituality – the Mandir, the Exhibitions and even the Gardens. The Akshardham mandir has over two hundred murtis, representing many of the spiritual stalwarts over many millennia. The spiritual premise of Akshardham is that each soul is potentially divine. Whether we are serving the family, the country our neighbors or all living beings the world over , each service can help one move towards divinity.

Fantastic site to visit - unimaginable architechture, great theme show, diaorama and I max presentation. If any tourist, irresepctive of his religion or creed, has half a day to spare, this is a must see. It is one man's creation in five years totally with voluntary support. A monument which makes every indian proud! We visited Akshardham when our son had come from US. From Ghaziabad, we hired a cab and reached this great and imposing temple at about 2 PM as we also wanted to stay there till the Laser show timings. There is too much security around Akshardham. After parking the car, we were directed to proceed to reception. There we had to keep our mobile phones for which, a receipt was given. Larger bags are also to be deposited here. As we had not taken lunch before leaving home, we went to the canteen, which was crowded. Lot of variety is available here, both north Indian and south Indian but the food is available only through self service. Then we went inside and as guided, visited several halls where audio-visual illustrations are done about the saint Swaminarayan, who left his family, denounced the worldly pleasures and devoted his life for the service of mankind. There are also some pavilions where the visitors are taken around and life of many Hindu Gods, Such as Rama, Krishna and Shiva are beautifully depicted through attractive tableaus. Visit to all these Halls took about 3 hours and then we again went to canteen to take tea and pass some time. Though many visit...
