"It is as it says HEAVEN. It is truly the eighth wonder of the world. It is the most wonderful temple and Monument that I have ever visited. A splendid and unparalleled work of art and love which will live forever in the hearts and minds of millions of people throughout this planet. It is a Monument not just to the memory of Lord Swaminarayan, but also of the whole of Hindu Culture. I think we can all be very proud of the achievements. My wish is that all people of Indian origin in Britain should come and visit Akshardham."
