Akshardham Ahmedabad is one of the largest temples in the Indian state of Gujarat. The temple complex combines devotions, art, architecture, education, exhibitions and research at one place. The temple came to international attention when two heavily armed terrorists attacked it in September 2002, one year after the '9/11' attack.

Akshardham Gandhinagar is a predecessor to the Akshardham at Delhi, built by the same religious organisation, Bochasanwasi Akshar-Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) led by Pramukh Swami Maharaj. It was inaugurated by him on Monday, November 2, 1992 CE, during the centenary celebrations of Yogiji Maharaj. The complex is very popular among tourists visiting Gujarat.

  • Hey how can you divide hinu with saminarayan! One god with his mighy glorry! World is too small to live and their are many human become god! people do not have any idea of gita, vedant and puran. without study of god, Imagination would not help of living better. Need more better school and hospital with nice facility. One more thing when swaminarayan was their and still english people ruling our contry. Why my father have to fight for freedom why your god did not fight for glory of freedom. Think Krishna before making supirial of god.
