Akshardham Temple is a Hindu temple complex located in New Delhi, India. It was built by the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) organization and was inaugurated in 2005. The temple is dedicated to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, a 19th-century saint and founder of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
The temple complex covers an area of 100 acres and features several buildings, including the main temple, an exhibition hall, a musical fountain, and a garden. The main temple is a massive structure made of pink sandstone and white marble, with intricate carvings and ornate domes.
The construction of the temple was a massive undertaking that involved more than 11,000 artisans and volunteers. The temple was built using ancient Vedic techniques and without any steel or concrete, using only marble and sandstone.
The temple's design is based on ancient Vedic architecture and features several elements that are meant to symbolize the Hindu faith, such as the nine domes that represent the nine planets and the 234 pillars that represent the number of saints in the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
The temple complex also features an exhibition hall called the "Sahajanand Darshan", which showcases the life and teachings of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. The hall features several multimedia exhibits, including audio-visual shows and animatronics, and provides visitors with an immersive experience of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
Since its inauguration, the Akshardham Temple has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Delhi, attracting millions of visitors every year. The temple's intricate architecture, beautiful carvings, and spiritual significance have made it a symbol of India's rich cultural and religious heritage.
