Hinduism social impact

Akshardham is a temple in Dehli India that was built by around 7,000 artisans, is 141ft high, 316 ft wide, and 356 ft long. The temple is not only a big tourist attraction to those visiting the area, but also has a theater, musical fountain, and a large garden that celebrates the culture of India. Many people come here to pray, and rituals are also performed  in honor of the gods in Hinduism. Unfortunately this temple was attacked in 2002 by 2 armed and very dangerous terrorists, 30 people were killed and 80 wounded. This particular temple is special because it shows off spiritual messages, architecture, and important traditions in Hinduism all throughout the complex so people can worship and practice hinduism all around the temple.
