Akshardham Temple Delhi (Delhi) FAQs In 2026 - 2027

Akshardham Temple, also known as Swaminarayan Akshardham, is a large Hindu temple complex in Delhi, India. It showcases traditional Indian and Hindu cultural architecture, spirituality, and history. The complex was constructed by the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) and was officially opened on 6 November 2005 by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

The temple's main attractions include the central monument made of intricately carved stone, the Abhishek Mandap, exhibitions on Hinduism (such as Sahajanand Darshan, Neelkanth Darshan, and Sanskruti Darshan), a musical fountain show (Yagnapurush Kund), and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The best time to visit Akshardham Temple is from October to March when the weather in Delhi is pleasant. The temple is also beautifully lit in the evenings, so many visitors prefer to arrive later in the day to enjoy both daylight and evening views, including the light and sound show.
