Akshardham Delhi โ the Swaminarayan temple complex on the Yamuna floodplain โ is the largest Hindu temple in the world by area (12 hectares) and the most visited monument in India (17M visitors/year, surpassing the Taj Mahal). Built in 2005 by the BAPS Swaminarayan organisation using 6,000 tonnes of Rajasthani pink sandstone and 300,000 volunteer labour-days, it is the supreme example of modern Hindu temple construction.
