About
Fantastic site to visit - unimaginable architechture, great theme show, diaorama and I max presentation. If any tourist, irresepctive of his religion or creed, has half a day to spare, this is a must see. It is one man's creation in five years totally with voluntary support. A monument which makes every indian proud!

A Hindu temple, better than my imagination. Very different from other normal temples. It takes about 3 hours to go around the temple.

Akshardham is the most amazing and beautiful temple which is located in Delhi also its one of the biggest Hindu temple I would definitely reccomend everyone visit there. Make it a point to reach before time so that you can get enough time to enter the place and be mesmerized. The best time to go at evening bcoz they have water & light show there !

It is very nice place see, I feel like visual wonder. Must visit place in the Delhi, we should have proper time to spend here other wise you will not be enjoying.
But the thing is they don't allow any electronic gadgets not even phone, so we can't capture but there will be official temple photographers but pics are graphics, so I suggest that don't take.

No words can describe the beauty and serenity of Akshardham temple. It is probably the best place to visit in Delhi. Spread across a wide area. The temple is very artistically crafted and chiselled . Entry fees is free, however there are some shows and activities going on in the temple which costs you some money but it is well worth the entire penny you spend. Full family place with dine area and lots of eating shops.

I don't recall seeing any large lockers. I was advised to leave everything with my driver which I did. Even a small wallet with nothing but credit cards and ids was inspected closely.

Hi
We would like to visit without a tour guide but be outside in time for the first light show. Can we book entrance tickets beforehand and what is the price? What time would you suggest we arrive to visit inside before the light show?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You do not need any tour Guide.
You cannot pre-book your ticket. Its available at the counter only.
The ticket cost per person (Only for the laser show ) is approx. INR 75/- or 80/- only. I do not exactly remember, but it is below Rs. 100/-.
Its better you get inside by 4:00 PM so that you can take round of the temple.. slowly. Take a round of the lawns... it will take around 90 mins to see the beautiful artworks and architectures.
Then go for the show 30 mins before the start time to get a seat from good view.
After the Show, you can visit the food court and enjoy some good snacks or Thalis (Dinner).
Visit the Akshardham Shop and can purchase some item from there... (Recommended : Incense Sticks (sandle) really good, Soaps, Honey, Diary, Mythological Picture Story Books for Kids, etc...)
Please Note : it takes minimum 45 mins for security check so plan it accordingly. Mobile Phones, cameras and any handbag is not allowed to be taken inside (better leave these all in your car).
DO NOT FORGET TO CARRY YOUR POLLUTION MASK because all activities are outdoor.
I hope this will help you... Go there with ample time in your hand and fully relaxed... I am sure you will have a lovely time..!
keep Exploring... Keep Enjoying..!
