We arrived at Akshardham 10 mins before the closing time. It was twilight time. Walking down the paved access walkway, feeling cool wind touching our skin, looking at swaying palm trees on the sides we felt we were in Paradise. It's a fabulous and heavenly place. The majestic view of the temple in twilight made us stare and lose our... More

You should not miss the visit to Akshardham. The short movie about life of Swaminarayan is worth watching. More

It's my fortune to visit Akshardham four times and every time I made it a point to watch their show which is of about 2 hours duration. It is a beautiful temple. One should not miss the audio visual show held here daily. More

Though it takes almost half day to visit the entire place it is worth.. Reach there at 1100 h to avoid rush. Need to deposit Mobile, electronic goods etc at the entrance before entering the temple. There is a wonderful cafeteria, good bathroom facilities, drinking water which are rare in Delhi visiting places. More

It is beautiful, minus the frills of the golden temple in Vellore in South India. You don't have any conniving young chaps trying to lure you into paying for a ticket to get a quicker darshan. The red sandstone corridors are so refreshing. Each elephant, lamb, lion sculpture has a lot to say. More

A marvelous and spectacular temple. One must not miss it. The best place I ever saw. It is not only a temple but a wonderful place to spend a full day. Excellent food in the restaurant and the best shows. More
