'''Akshardham''' is a term used by the Swaminarayan sect of [[Hinduism]], founded by [[Swaminarayan]] (1781–1830), who his followers believe to be a manifestation of God. The name comes from the words ''Akshar'' meaning indestructible, and ''Dham'' meaning abode or home, and refers to what is believed to be the divine abode of Swaminarayan by his [[satsangi|followers]].<ref name="Williams 83">{{cite book|last=Williams|first=Raymond|title=Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism|url=https://archive.org/details/introductiontosw0000will|url-access=registration|date=8 January 2001|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|isbn=0 521 65279 0|pages=[https://archive.org/details/introductiontosw0000will/page/83 83]}}</ref> The followers of Swaminarayan believe that once the jiva or soul is freed from the cycle of births and deaths, it resides in Akshardham.<ref name="Williams 239">{{cite book|title=Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism|url=https://archive.org/details/introductiontosw0000will|url-access=registration|last=Williams|first=Raymond|date=8 January 2001|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=0 521 65279 0|location=Cambridge|pages=[https://archive.org/details/introductiontosw0000will/page/239 239]}}</ref>
