One of the largest temples in Gujarat, the Akshardham temple in Gandinagar is managed by the prosperous Hindu Swaminarayan Group. Spread in 23 acres of manicured lawns, this huge temple was constructed by around 1000 artisans. The complex was made from 6000 metric tons of pink sandstone and is known to be the abode of Lord Swaminarayan. One of the prime highlights of the temple is a 45-minute water show, which is organized after sunset. Spend a day in exploring this wonder.
