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!

One of the wonders' of the world!
Apr 2021
This temple seems far more impressive to me than anything else I have seen! Better than Taj Mahal or even St. Peters Basicilca in Vatican...The Hindu architecture and carving are unbelievable!

Have been visiting this place during March 2021, was impressed. great place to see and to be, couldn't attend the evening fountain show, but was told it is amazing too. Recommended to spend 2-3 hours to enjoy it to the fullest! Note, that no photo or video are allowed, you will be required to leave them in a free deposit box

Absolutely Serene.
Feb 2021 • Couples
One of the most beautiful temples I have ever been . I think it’s one of the biggest temples in the world. The indoor boat ride depicting our ancient culture is worth it . Inside the temple u find eternal peace and don’t feel like coming out. The carvings on marble in the temple are so beautiful that u will b stunned . A must visit when in Delhi .

Magic on the Stone in its Grandeur
Feb 2021
One should visit this place to see Magic on the Stone in its Grandeur. Absolutely beyond speech. Downside is that No electronic device is allowed inside for security reasons.

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..!

1-We will be going there from Sarojini Market,and we may have lots of bags with us,can we keep all of those in locker room? How safe it will be?
2-Last entry time is 6:30 pm, what does tht mean? Means we have to comeout by 6:30 or we have to enter by 6:30,and can stay for more time?
Ravi Gupta

Locker rooms are not that big and even you are not allowed to carry mobiles with you.if you want to only see the temple and musical fountain then 6.30 is the last entry, otherwise if you want to experience movie and their museum and boat service,i think they are till 5 only. So you need to go early
Can we deposit mobiles and cash in the locker?

Yes, it's possible to keep all your belongings in the lockers. You can keep cash, mobiles, cameras, anything and everything.
