The temple and premises are majestic. Very well maintained as well. However, the security processes are a big hassle with almost nothing being allowed inside. Food and restaurants and highly okay with a lot of arrogant staff. Makes you feel they are doing a big favour to you. The guided tour/show is extremely long and lacks focus. Should be crisper,...

Lunch was average, served in a clean environment, portions small, but as we only have small appetite was enough. Good place to eat as it was clean.

The temple is average, not as spread out as the Delhi one. However, a good visit. remember, bags and mobile phones cannot be taken in (biggest problem). However, all safe arrangements are made outside to keep them. The Water Show is a must see. It is under priced. Gets a little draggy in the middle. But, a must see in... More

It was the first time I visited an Akshardham temple and it is really well maintained place and they have done it up beautifully. It is a place to visit if one is going to look at architecture and aesthetics of the place, there is not much of spirituality to the place and it doesn't seem to promote the same... More

There are three Akshardham temples in the world that Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple of New Delhi, India is one of them. Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple was one of the best experience of India, especially it's fountain and show.
