Swaminarayan Akshardham, India

Swaminarayan Akshardham is a Hindu temple in Delhi, India, as well as a spiritual-cultural campus. The shrine is located near the Noida boundary. The complex, which is also known as Akshardham Temple or Akshardham Delhi, exhibits millennia of traditional and modern Hindu culture, spirituality, and architecture. It was built by BAPS and was inspired by Yogiji Maharaj and produced by Pramukh Swami Maharaj.

The temple[2] was inaugurated by Pramukh Swami Maharaj on November 6, 2005, in the presence of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Manmohan Singh, L.K. Advani, and B.L Joshi. The Vastu shastra and Pancharatra shastra were used to construct the temple in the complex's heart.

The main shrine is the focal point and preserves the central location of the entire complex in Swaminarayan Akshardham, identical to its predecessor Swaminarayan Akshardham in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. There are several display halls that present information on Swaminarayan's life and activity. The numerous display halls were designed using modern ways of communication and technology by the complex's designers.

The complex includes an abhishek mandap, Sahaj Anand water show, a thematic garden, and three exhibitions: Sahajanand Darshan (Hall of Values), Neelkanth Darshan (an IMAX film on Swaminarayan's early life as the teenage yogi, Neelkanth), and Sanskruti Darshan (an IMAX film on Swaminarayan's early life as the teenage yog (cultural boat ride). The word Akshardham means "abode of Swaminarayan" in Swaminarayan Hinduism, and it is thought by devotees to be God's temporal dwelling on earth.
