The Akshardham campus’ gardens reaffirm the Vedic sentiments: “आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः।” (Ṛgveda 1.89.9) “May noble thoughts come to us from all directions.” In addition to providing shade, the ornate and thematic gardens of Swaminarayan Akshardham provide respite in the wisdom of the ages.
