A landmark of Hindu Architecture and Culture.

▶️Brahm Kund
A Traditional Stepped Pond

Experience a serenity of a traditional Indian stepped pond, filled with water from India's 108 holy rivers and those flowing through the fifty states in the U.S. Here, we pay homage to life-giving elixir and honor the precious waters of our planet. Just as our civilization reveres rivers for their ability to cleanse and nourish, this step-well invites you to pause, reflect, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Experience the timeless wisdom of Hinduism: a profound source of universal values like unconditional love, inner peace, and selfless service.

▶️Nilkanth Plaza
A Space for Reflection.

At the campus entrance stands a 49-foot image of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, portrayed as a youthful yogi. Known as Nilkanth Varni during his teenage years, he was the founder of the Swaminarayan Hindu tradition. His calm and undisturbed pose, engaged in deep yogic prayer, symbolizes spiritual focus and discipline, echoing his journey, where he fostered compassion, empathy, and service in the hearts of all. The legacy of his reforms in the late 18th century that addressed the oppression of women, young children, and marginalized castes stands the test of time.

▶️Welcome Center
A Place of Warmth & Hospitality.

In Hindu traditions, the art of welcoming guests transcends hospitality; it is considered a sacred practice. As ancient sacred texts proclaim, “Atithi devo bhava”—a host must see the divine in every guest. Within the hallways of warmth and inclusivity, people from diverse communities, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or cultural heritage, are welcomed and introduced to the essence of Hinduism and Swaminarayan Akshardham.

▶️Akshardham Mahamandir
The grand centerpiece

At the centerpoint of the campus stands the Akshardham Mahamandir. Regardless of one's beliefs and background, Akshardham will inspire all to connect with each other and with the Divine. HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, envisioned a majestic spiritual campus in the United States that would consolidate thousands of years of inspiring Hindu art, architecture and culture.
