the akshardham in delhi was created many years after the akshardham was first made in gandhinagar, gujarat. still this article does not even mention the great monument. see Gujarat Akshardham

Hello,

I've added a small section about Akshardham Gandinagar. I also changed the image of Akshardham New Delhi so that the two images in the article would match somewhat. Also added, are links to other wikipedia articles concerning various things mentioned in this one (i.e Swaminarayan, BAPS, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, Neasden Temple)

After reading that text, my estimation of Clinton took a nose-dive. — goethean ॐ 16:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Akshardham (Delhi) has failed, for the following reason:

Unfortunately there are basic problems: there are no references, and section headings should be capitalised as a normal sentence. Also, there is a sense of a point of view being expressed, in sentences such as has already attracted tens of thousands of visitors from all over the globe, which sounds promotional.

Can you cite any source for Bill Clinton's quote please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.247.164 (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restructuring the article

Hey all, I feel that the article, if wanted to be taken more seriously, needs to be structured better.

Currently, the article reads:

   * 1 The Temple
   * 2 The Exhibitions
   * 3 The Yagnapurush Kund
   * 4 The Bharat Upavan
   * 5 The Yogi Hraday Kamal
   * 6 Other Features
   * 7 Guinness World Record
   * 8 Creator
   * 9 Akshardham Gandhinagar
   * 10 See also
   * 11 References
   * 12 External links

I feel that this should be changed to the following, to make the article seem good and appropriate, encyclopaedic-wise:

   * 1 History
   * 2 Temple features
         * 2.1 Monument (previously would be what the Temple is currently)
         * 2.2 Hall of Values (previously would be what the The Exhibitions is currently) 
         * 2.3 The Yagnapurush Kund
         * 2.4 The Bharat Upavan
         * 2.5 The Yogi Hraday Kamal
         * 2.6 Other Features (including what's already there, as well as Mystic India)
   * 3 Awards
         * 3.1 Guinness World Record
   * 4 Creator (may require heavy alterations, or some sorta joining to 'History')
   * 5 Akshardham Gandhinagar
   * 6 References
   * 7 See also
   * 8 External links

This, by no means, will essentially be the end result, but more of a springboard for the direction of change. Ideas were used from current featured (star) articles such as the Cathedral of Magdeburg, Palace of Westminster, and Chicago Board of Trade Building, so it would be hard to go wrong to organise the article in such a manner. Please add your own thoughts, otherwise I shall begin work on this format in the near future under the assumption that no one has anything against it. -- Harish - 18:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Akshardham Gandhinagar Section

Is there a need for this on the Delhi Akshardham page? According to me, a link in the See also section should be sufficient - Wheredevelsdare (talk) 23:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
