The Akshardham temple complex in Delhi, which took over two years and $2 billion to construct, opened to the public in November 2005. The 100-acre complex depicts Hindu mythology and culture and is expected to attract millions of religious tourists annually. It includes the main Swaminarayan temple, exhibition halls, an IMAX theater, a musical fountain, and over 20,000 statues across its 234 pillars and arches. The complex was funded by followers of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha worldwide and constructed through the volunteer efforts of 11,000 people.
