Revered spiritual leader and current president of the BAPS Swaminarayan organization, Mahant Swami Ji Maharaj, was given a warm welcome at the Akshardham mandir, New Delhi. The mandir complex was beautifully adorned with flowers and festive decorations, as thousands of devotees gathered to welcome him with great enthusiasm.

Mahan Swami Ji Maharaj will reside at the Delhi Akshardham Temple up to April 2. During this, a series of cultural and spiritual programs will be organized, with the highlight being the consecration (Pran Pratishtha) of the 108-foot-tall murti of Neelkanth Varni Maharaj—the youthful yogic form of Bhagwan Swaminarayan—on March 26.

In addition, consecration rituals for murtis destined for temples in Panchkula, Kurukshetra, and Paris will also take place at the Delhi Akshardham Temple during this period. Devotees will also have the opportunity to participate in a range of special events, including Bal Din, Yuva Din, Mahayagna, and spiritual discourses by learned BAPS swamis. Morning Puja darshan of His Holiness and blessings will also be available.
