Akshardham

Completed in 2005 by the socio-spiritual organisation BAPS, no expense has been spared in decorating this large and elaborate temple carved of red sandstone.

Why go

The central monument, built without any steel, houses an 11-ft golden statue of the founder of the Swaminarayan faith, Bhagwan Swaminarayan. The Premvati food court on the grounds serves up fast, cheap, huge but mediocre portions of vegetarian food, ₹75 for a thali. There is a strict ban on all electronic items, cameras, tobacco and pretty much everything except the clothes on your back.
