Akshardham 阿克薩達姆
Akshardham or Swaminarayan Akshardham complex is a Hindu temple, and a spiritual-cultural campus in Delhi, India. Also referred to as Akshardham Temple or Swaminarayan Akshardham, the complex displays millennia of traditional Hindu and Indian culture, spirituality, and architecture. Inspired by Yogiji Maharaj and created by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, it was constructed by BAPS.
The temple was officially opened on 6 November 2005 by Pramukh Swami Maharaj in the presence of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Manmohan Singh, L.K Advani and B.L Joshi. The temple, at the centre of the complex, was built according to the Vastu shastra and Pancharatra shastra.
In Akshardham Delhi, similar to its predecessor Akshardham Gandhinagar, Gujarat, the main shrine is the focal point and maintains the central position of the entire complex. There are various exhibition halls which provide information about the life and work of Swaminarayan. The designers of the complex have adopted contemporary modes of communication and technology to create the various exhibition halls.
The complex features an Abhisheka Mandap, Sahaj Anand water show, a thematic garden and three exhibitions namely Sahajanand Darshan (Hall of Values), Neelkanth Darshan (an IMAX film on the early life of Swaminarayan as the teenage yogi, Neelkanth), and Sanskruti Darshan (cultural boat ride). According to Swaminarayan Hinduism, the word Akshardham means the abode of almighty Lord Swaminarayan and believed by followers as a temporal home of God on earth.
Akshardham或Swaminarayan Akshardham綜合體是印度教寺廟，也是印度德里的精神文化校園。該建築群也被稱為Akshardham Temple或Swaminarayan Akshardham，展示了數千年的傳統印度教和印度文化，靈性和建築。它由Yogiji Maharaj啟發，由Pramukh Swami Maharaj創作，由BAPS建造。
該寺廟於2005年11月6日由Pramukh Swami Maharaj在A. P. J. J. Abdul Kalam博士，Manmohan Singh，L.K Advani和B.L Joshi的陪同下正式開放。位於建築群中心的寺廟是根據Vastu shastra和Pancharatra shastra建造的。
在Akshardham德里，與其前身古吉拉特邦的Akshardham Gandhinagar相似，主要的神殿是焦點，並保持整個建築群的中心位置。有各種展廳，提供有關Swaminarayan的生活和工作的信息。該綜合體的設計師採用現代通訊和技術模式來創建各種展廳。
該建築群包括Abhisheka Mandap，Sahaj Anand水上表演，主題花園和三個展覽，即Sahajanand Darshan（價值殿堂），Neelkanth Darshan（一部關於Swaminarayan早期生活的IMAX電影作為青少年瑜伽士，Neelkanth）和Sanskruti Darshan （文化乘船）。根據Swaminarayan印度教，Akshardham這個詞意味著全能的Swaminarayan勳爵的居所，並被追隨者認為是地球上帝的臨時家園。
