Swaminarayan Akshardam Temple




'Akshardham' means the divine abode of God. It is hailed as an eternal place of devotion, purity and peace. Swaminarayan Akshardham at New Delhi is a Mandir – anabode of God, a Hindu house of worship, and a spiritual and cultural campus dedicatedto devotion, learning and harmony. Timeless Hindu spiritual messages, vibrantdevotional traditions and ancient architecture all are echoed in its art and architecture.The mandir is a humble tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781- 1830), the avatars, devas and great sages of Hinduism. The traditionally-styled complex was inaugurated on 6 November 2005 with the blessings of HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj and through the devoted efforts of skilled artisans and volunteers.






Each element of Akshardham echoes with spirituality – the Mandir, the Exhibitions and even the Gardens.

The Akshardham mandir has over two hundred murtis, representing many of the spiritual stalwarts over many millennia. The spiritual premise of Akshardham is that each soul is potentially divine. Whether we are serving the family, the country our neighbors or all living beings the world over , each service can help one move towards divinity. Each prayer is a call towards improving oneself and moving closer to God.

A visit to Akshardham is a spiritually enriching experience. Whether it is in realising the power of prayer, in feeling the strength of non-violence, in being aware of the universal nature of Hinduism’s ancient principles, or just in admiring the beauty of God’s abode on Earth –- each element has a spiritual significance.

The abode of truth, beauty and auspiciousness, Akshardham has molded and remolded millions of lives. It is because here resides Bhagwan Swaminarayan in all His glory, showering blessings upon one and all.

Who is Bhagwan Swaminarayan?

When the 18th century had been engulfed by social, political and spiritual darkness, Bhagwan Swaminarayan ushered in spiritual enlightenment. Celebrating His 49 years on earth from 1781 to 1830 CE, SWAMINARAYAN DARSHAN relives His divine life through exclusive paintings.


Thankyou......!!!!!!
