What people say, in short
Akshardham Temple is one of the most frequently recommended sights in Delhi, with several people calling it a must-visit for its huge scale, impressive architecture and beautiful main temple. One commenter says you can easily spend half a day there and loves the evening multimedia water show, while another suggests going at sunset. The honest caveats: it gets very crowded, phones and cameras are not allowed inside, and a couple of commenters find the indoor ride and museum cheesy or feel it resembles a theme park rather than a historic temple. One commenter also notes it is a long metro ride.
