cont..
They dont allow cameras but you can buy postcards at a very reasonable
price.
You will need to spend all day to watch
1. The temple itself with gold plated statue of Swami Narayan.
all built without nails. I was more impressed with it than the Taj!
2. A boat ride with peacock front , where the banks of the river show
highlights of Indian history
3 Animatronics of SN life
4 Imax cinema ! with a movie of Swami Narayan. He
apparently he left home at 11, swam across a river in high flood and
wandered without top clothes to Tibet and then south india .
5 A fabulous laser and fountain light show in the evening with
classical Indian music in the background
Google images 'Akshadharam ' and youtube

I love the way they have curved fountain lights , havent figured out
how they do it yet.
