Immersive experience swirled with art, culture and architecture
Swaminarayan Akshardham (new Jersey)的点评
点评：I visited last Monday. The layout of the campus was easy to navigate. After you park and walk up, you are immersed in a scene that surrounds you with incenses, soothing music and visuals that are captivating! Take some time to look at the topographical map of India that shows the path that was taken by Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Walk past all of the pillars and incense cart while admiring the golden statue of the young yogi. The stepped pond winds you over to the Welcome Center. Upon entering, be sure to admire the mosaics and teak wood carvings. The short video in the theater was very educational.
Unfortunately, I was unable to enter the mandir across from the welcome center due to a private event. I then admired the statues of musicians on the pillars as I made my way to the elephants and entrance of the temple.
I found the shoe room to be efficient and easy to navigate. I was nervous about the stairs being slippery but they have a grip strip on it. Once you reach the main level you will be amazed by the detail in the carvings surrounding you. You will wind your way around the floor within roped off areas that takes you to all of the highlights. The focal point is the statue of Swami Maharaj, a fifth generational relative of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. It is very inspiring and gave me the warm and fuzzies even as an agnostic. You will continue the loop and then make your way to the shoe room and go back outside.
Next, you visit the shop, cafe and dry goods store.
I would return especially after the new educational center opens. Overall, It’s quite an immersive experience swirled with art, culture and architecture. The people that worked there were lovely.
Tips:
-Make sure you don't have any holes in your socks so you can glide with ease across the cool marble.
-Make reservations if it's a holiday or weekend.
-When entering, head to the welcome center to the right. When you get inside the
palace, enter the temple from the left side.
-Don't miss the short video in the welcome center.
-Although you can't touch anything there is a place to feel the marble.
-Don't miss the store across from the cafe that has spices, dry goods and refrigerated to go snacks.
Morally:
I didn't give it five stars because I was rubbed the wrong way when the educational video overemphasized the appreciation towards the “volunteers”. The FBI investigated this place for forced labor, modern day slavery!

翻译：我上周一参观了。校园的布局很容易导航。停车后，步行上去，你沉浸在一个充满香火、舒缓音乐和迷人视觉效果的场景中！花点时间看看印度的地形图，上面显示了巴格万·斯瓦米纳拉扬走过的路。走过所有的柱子和香车，欣赏年轻瑜伽士的金色雕像。阶梯式池塘将你带到欢迎中心。进入后，一定要欣赏马赛克和柚木雕刻。剧院里的短片非常有教育意义。
不幸的是，由于私人活动，我无法进入欢迎中心对面的寺庙。然后，我欣赏了柱子上的音乐家雕像，然后我走向大象和寺庙的入口。
我发现鞋室很高效，很容易导航。我担心楼梯很滑，但上面有防滑条。到达主层后，您会惊叹于周围雕刻的细节。您将在用绳索围起来的区域内绕行一圈，到达所有亮点。焦点是斯瓦米·马哈拉吉 (Swami Maharaj) 的雕像，他是巴格万·斯瓦米纳拉扬 (Bhagwan Swaminarayan) 的第五代亲属。它非常鼓舞人心，即使作为一个不可知论者，也让我感到温暖和迷茫。您将继续绕行，然后前往鞋房，再回到外面。
接下来，您将参观商店、咖啡馆和干货店。
我会回来的，特别是在新的教育中心开业后。总的来说，这是一个充满艺术、文化和建筑的沉浸式体验。在那里工作的人很可爱。
提示：
-确保您的袜子没有任何破洞，这样您就可以轻松地在凉爽的大理石上滑行。
-如果是假期或周末，请提前预订。
-进入时，前往右侧的接待中心。进入宫殿后，从左侧进入寺庙。
-不要错过接待中心的短片。
-虽然您无法触摸任何东西，但有一个地方可以感受大理石。
-不要错过咖啡馆对面的商店，那里有香料、干货和冷藏小吃。
道德：
我没有给它五颗星，因为教育视频过分强调对“志愿者”的赞赏，这让我感到不快。联邦调查局调查了这个地方的强迫劳动，现代奴隶制！
