Akshardham Temple
Families bring children here to learn as much as to pray. The Hall of Values tells Swaminarayan's teachings through fifteen dioramas with robotics, the Neelkanth Darshan film follows the seven-year pilgrimage he began as a boy of eleven, and the Sanskruti Vihar boat ride passes through ten thousand years of Indian learning, from the Vedic sages to ancient universities. School groups are received by prior booking. Parents traditionally offer the abhishek and an arti prayer for their children's studies and perseverance, one of the Hall's own themes.
