Akshardham Gandhinagar is one of the largest temples in the Indian state of Gujarat. The temple complex combines devotions, art, architecture, education, exhibitions and research at one place. The temple came to international attention when two heavily armed terrorists attacked it in September 2002, one year after the '9/11' attack.
Akshardham Gandhinagar is a predecessor to the Akshardham at Delhi, built by the same religious organisation, Bochasanwasi Akshar-Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) led by Pramukh Swami Maharaj. It was inaugurated by him on Monday, November 2, 1992 CE, during the centenary celebrations of Yogiji Maharaj. The complex is very popular among tourists visiting Gujarat.

and enlightenment.
