Akshardham Temple is a Hindu temple complex located in Delhi, India. It is one of the largest Hindu temples in the world and was opened in 2005. The temple complex was built by the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) organization, and it spans over 100 acres of land.

The temple complex is divided into several sections, including the main temple, exhibition halls, gardens, and water features. The main temple, which is made entirely of white marble, features intricate carvings and sculptures depicting various Hindu deities, saints, and historical events. The temple is surrounded by a large courtyard and several smaller shrines.

The exhibition halls showcase the rich history and culture of India through multimedia displays, dioramas, and interactive exhibits. The exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including the Vedic era, the life and teachings of Swaminarayan, and the contributions of Indian scientists and scholars.

The gardens surrounding the temple complex are beautifully landscaped and feature a variety of trees, flowers, and water features. Visitors can take a stroll through the gardens or relax in one of the many seating areas. The water features include a large fountain, a reflecting pool, and a boat ride that takes visitors around the complex.
