Swaminarayan Akshardham
NH 24, Akshardham Setu / Pramukh Swami Maharaj Marg, New Delhi, Delhi 110092, India
Swaminarayan Akshardham is a major contemporary temple complex and one of Delhi’s most structured visitor experiences, combining worship space, gardens and optional paid presentations within a single managed campus in east Delhi. The official visitor information for the New Delhi complex gives the address on NH 24 at Pramukh Swami Maharaj Marg, close to Akshardham Metro Station, and confirms that the site is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed every Monday. For independent visitors, the appeal lies in the contrast with Delhi’s older Sultanate and Mughal monuments: this is a modern sacred complex designed as an immersive cultural and devotional visit rather than an archaeological site. The official site confirms free entry to the main complex and mandir darshan, with separate tickets for exhibitions and the evening water show. It also lists practical facilities including cloak room services, wheelchairs, parking, restrooms and a vegetarian food court. Dress standards are explicitly modest, and security procedures are strict, so this is best approached as a planned stop rather than a quick drop-in. The setting is well within the National Capital Territory, and Delhi Tourism identifies the complex at Akshardham Setu in New Delhi. For travellers wanting a current religious landmark with orderly visitor logistics, it adds a distinctly different dimension to a Delhi itinerary.
