Akshardham temple, built on the banks of sacred Yamuna River, represents one of the most beautiful sights in Delhi built a few years back only. Under the patronage of the Bochasanvasi Aksharpurushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), this temple has been built, which comprises of 20, 000 statues, floral motifs, arches and 234 exquisitely carved pillars. The architectural style of Delhi’s Akshardham t
emple is an emulation of the Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The Swaminarayan Temple, Akshardham is built without using steel i.e. formed by using pink sandstone and marbles. Besides temple, Exhibition hall, an IMAX theatre, musical fountain, manicured lawns, lush gardens, a restaurant modeled on Ajanta and Ellora caves and an ayurvedic bazaar are some of the most attractive features of this renowned temple. Although, it took more than 2 years to blend Gujarati, Rajasthani, Orrisan, Jain and Mughal temple architectural style in this beautiful edifice, but end result is worth watching.
