Akshardham Temple

At the epicenter of the expansive Akshardham complex, lies a delicate and beautiful architectural masterpiece – the Akshardham Monument cherishes the golden murti of Lord Swaminarayan, the founder of the Swaminarayan Faith.

The impressive 10 story high monument is made entirely of intricately carved, 6000 tons of pink sandstone from Rajasthan, with no steel or cement used at all, safeguarding that the monument will last for a thousand years. It is 108 ft. tall, splendid structure.

Premeditated and crafted according to ancient Indian Architectural Treatises (called the Sthaapatya Shastras), the monument emits a spiritual aura into the complex. The monument is awash with silence and peace, which one impulsively experiences in the three floors.
