Akshardham Temple and Secret Agrasen Baoli Walking Tour

Meet our guide outside "Akshardham" Metro station, then we walk towards the Akshardham temple. Akshardham temple is Biggest temple of Delhi, which is beautifully decorated with carved statues of dancers, deities, fauna, flora and others. This temple is built with Rajasthani sandstone (pink color) and Italian Carrara marble. This temple holds 234 pillars, 2000 deity statues, nine domes and much more. The temple holds 148 life-size elephant statues that weigh a total of 3000 tons. The central dome contains the main deity, Swaminarayan. The deity is surrounded by many statues made with a composition of five different metals. There is NO fee for entering the temple, however if one want to watch any show, documentary then the fee will be applicable. Since the documentary show take 3 hours so we wont show the same since we have limited time. Later board metro train for a short ride to "Barakhamba" Metro station, from there we start walking towards a mysterious and ancient stepwell known as "Agrasen Ki Baoli", which is definitely an architectural marvel. It has three stories and 108 steps which goes down to the well. Agrasen Ki Baoli also has a resemblance to the baolis or baodis (stepwells) in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The water inside the well of Agrasen Ki Baoli is said to hypnotise people and allure them to commit suicide. It is said that the well had black water, which mysteriously killed people. People don’t go there in the evenings due to the stories about this place as being haunted. After this we walk back to the "Barakhamba metro station" from there we all disperse, guests can either board the Metro station OR can easily get another public mode of transportation like Uber, TUK-TUK etc
