3 not so famous things in Akshardham which you should not miss:
1.Swaminarayan Khichdi in food court. Cost Rs 45. health, tasty, holy and special.
2.Abhishek Mandapam - Visit this place for ultimate relaxing and enlightening moment of your life. Here you get chance to personally worship god swaminarayan.
3. Exhibition hall - Nice Collection of Swaminarayan T-shirts and herbal products in the exhibition hall are the two things which I like the most. Conveniently priced these are a good buy as token of memory  from this temple.

3 things you must be aware of when you visit temple
