Akshardham temple complex set to become major attraction of Delhi
Akshardham temple complex in Delhi-a sprawling pink sandstone and white marble temple complex of the Swaminarayan sect-was opened in November, 2005.
The complex will double up as a modern centre of spirituality and learning about Indian culture. Once opened it is expected to become a major tourist attraction of Delhi.
The temple complex will be spread on 30 acres of the Yamuna bank. Its architecture draws inspiration from the temples of Badrinath (Uttaranchal), Somnath (Gujarat) and Konark (Orissa).
Swaminarayan Sect that controls Akshardham complex seems to have been part of the bhakti movement and born of the philosophy of Sahajanand Swami (1781-1830) who was considered an incarnation of Lord Swaminarayan and was a powerful social activist.
