The very sound of the name Akshardham proposes great meaning to the plenary nomenclature. It means the
eternal, divine abode of the supreme God, the abode of eternal values and virtues of Aksharas defined in the Vedas
and Upanishads where divine bhakti, purity and peace forever pervades. This fusion of pink stone and pure white
marble is built without steel and has 234 ornately carved pillars, 9 ornate domes, 20 quadra angled shikhars. he
spectacular Gajendra Pith (plinth of stone elephants) and 20,000 murtis and statues of India’s great sadhus,
devotees, acharyas and divine personalities will make you gaze forever.
The intricate curvatures on the roof have the power to mesmerize any roaming sight. The most famous thing here
is the three paid audio visual shows, the presentation of these shows are fabulous. The show gives you the
experience that you are travelling through time machine.
Calling Akhshardham Temple a religious place would be a misnomer if you only consider the fanatic lawns, boat
rides, musical fountains and the animatronics show. You can only take home the longing views of this superbly
crafted monument.

Volunteers, sadhus and artisians by their hard work and prayers of thousands young and old devotees of BAPS
