Akshardham Temple
Akshardham Temple is a large, modern Hindu temple complex completed in 2005, built by the BAPS Swaminarayan organization, notable for its scale, intricate stone and wood carving throughout, and the exhibitions built around it, including an animatronic boat ride tracing ancient Indian knowledge and a large-format film about the temple's central spiritual figure, Swaminarayan.
Security is notably strict here (no phones, cameras, bags, or electronics allowed inside; lockers are provided outside), which shapes the visit logistics more than at most Delhi sites. The complex is genuinely large, expect several hours if you want to see the main temple, the exhibitions, the gardens, and the evening water show.
