Delhi: Akshardham Temple Tour and Musical Fountain Show

Experience the Akshardham Temple at sunset on a guided tour. Marvel at the temple's architecture, watch the Sahaj Anand Water Show, and enjoy a traditional vegetarian dinner.
Experience the magic of Delhi’s Akshardham Temple as the sun sets. Begin with a pickup from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you drive through Delhi’s streets, your guide will share insights about the temple’s remarkable construction, built entirely from Rajasthani pink sandstone and Italian Carrara marble, using traditional Hindu architectural methods without any steel.

Arrive at the temple and begin your guided tour at the main monument. Marvel at the 11-foot gold-leafed statue of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, walk through the Gajendra Pith, featuring 148 life-sized elephant carvings symbolizing harmony with nature, and admire the Yagnapurush Kund, the world’s largest stepwell with its 2,870 steps and geometric perfection. Learn about the temple’s nine domes, each representing different aspects of Indian culture.

As the sun begins to set, enjoy free time to capture stunning photographs as the sandstone glows in the warm light. Stroll through the Bharat Upavan garden with its bronze statues of Indian heroes or visit the Neelkanth Darshan exhibition (optional) showcasing the journey of an 11-year-old yogi.

Then, enjoy the evening’s highlight, a breathtaking 20-minute performance where musical fountains dance to spiritual chants, lasers project vibrant imagery on water screens, and fire effects create dramatic moments. The show weaves together a timeless Vedic message about life’s purpose.

Before heading back, enjoy dinner at the temple’s vegetarian food court (optional). Try traditional Gujarati thali or the famous Akshardham pani puri – a perfect way to complete your cultural immersion. Finally, return to your hotel, reflecting on an experience that engages all senses – the visual grandeur of the architecture, the melodic chants, the taste of traditional food, and the profound spiritual atmosphere.
