Dream Trip 2008: July

Great Travel Moment

This Akshardham is simply beyond imagination. It can easily be called the most beautiful and meaningful architecture of India. In more than one sense, it sums up the entire cultural history of India's glorios past, beautiful sculpture, indicate and delicate wood and stone carving, richly varied symmetrical motif-patterns from millennia of India's sculptural pageant, the cultural boat-ride into India's rich and proud heritage, monumental structure of the central temple, its botanically rich garden, soul-filling rich expressions and all created by Swaminarayan saints in just five years! No other temple or architectural monument, in India is comparable! Mind-boggling! Unbelievable but it exists!
