Very few people know that Jaipur has its own beautiful Akshardham Mandir. I had heard a lot about these beautiful temples, so we decided to go and pay our respects to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. We started for the temple in early evening from Birla Mandir and it was supposed to be a 15-20 minute drive but the huge traffic jams (a jam in Jaipur … few years back it was un thinkable) in couple of places increased the journey time to more than an hour and it was quite dark, early November evening, by the time we reached this beautiful structure. This was my first visit to Akshardham Mandir and I was mesmerized by the artistically lit huge building.
Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan
Beautifully carved mandap in the Sanctum where the bhakts can sit and have the unhamperd darshan of the moortis, listen to satsang and mediate.
The artistically lit temple structure.It is hard to believe that this is a modern structure and not a ancient temple.Hats off to the artists who have kept the ancient Indian art of stone carving alive in these modern times.
