Akshardham New Delhi - A Splendorous Creation of Human Hand

Akshardham Temple - New Delhi

I have visited the Akshardham temple in Delhi. I think it's a wonderful place that everyone must visit. Akshardham temple has been made by a charitable trust. It is spread over 25 acres of lush green area and is surrounded by Yamuna River from three sides. The architecture and design of Akshardham temple is simply marvelous. The interiors of Akshardham temple is made up of pure white marble. In the hall, there is beautiful display of the great work of artists with thousands of bells hanging on the exiling. On the outer periphery of Akshardham temple is 108 goumukhs that pour water from their mouth.

In the garden area the Akshardham temple has statues of great warriors of India including Ram, Lakshman, Sita and Draupadi, the rath in the center of the garden with eight horses is really superb. In one corner, the Akshardham temple has a library to unleash the ancient India and its history during a musical show organized in the temple in which music is played along with the fountains. Akshardham has a lasting impression ever since I have seen it.
