The Akshardam temple, as all knows, is popular nation wide. The leading Hindu Swaminarayan Group manages the temple. Around 1000 artisans were hired in order to construct this temple. A total of 6000 tons of pink sandstone was used. The carefully incised pillars and roofs of temple are enclosed by lush manicured lawns and musical fountains. The year of 2002 was miserable for temple as it was brutally attacked by terrorist.
