Tour the massive mega
Akshardham Temple Complex in Delhi, India and explore an amazing world of
Indian culture ornate with 20, 000 statues, floral motifs, arches and
exquisitely carved pillars. The magnificent Akshardham
Temple in Delhi has been constructed under the patronage of the Bochasanvasi
Aksharpurushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) and was inaugurated on
November 7, 2005.
The
inaugural ceremony was attended by President APJ Abdul Kalam and the temple
was formally inaugurated by Pramukhswami Maharaj who leads the BAPS. The
temple complex in the national capital, to be inaugurated on Sunday,
promises a unique glimpse of the Hindu religion and Indian culture.
The
Akshardham temple complex has been built on the banks of the serene River
Yamuna and lies over a sprawling 100 acres of lush manicured lawns
adorned with water fountains and carved pavilions. A whopping 2 billion was
spent on the construction of this grand place of worship that took about 2
years to build.
An IMAX theatre, a Swaminarayan temple and an
elaborate musical fountain accessorize the massive Akshardham temple complex
in Delhi, India. The architectural style is an imitation of the Akshardham
temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The main monument at the Akshardham
temple in Delhi is about 141-foot high and houses a lovely statue of Lord
Swaminarayan.
