|  |  | When God incarnates Himself on earth, 
            all things and people who come into contact with Him become holy. 
            The Holy relics of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, preciously preserved by generations, 
            have been most historically and honorably displayed at the ground 
            floor of Akshardham Monument at Gandhinagar, India. The museum houses 
            a treasure of rare divine objects related to Bhagwan Swaminarayan's life and times, from the clothes and footwear he wore, 
            and a historic letter written by Him to His hair and tooth. The various items are displayed attractively in the museum.
 The organizers began the painstaking task of obtaining precise details 
            of things as soon as Pramukh Swami Maharaj expressed his desire for 
            such a historical museum. They also had to ensure that all the things 
            were authentic. Adequate measures had to be taken for the long term 
            preservation and protection of such a rare and historical collection 
            of things. Many other items from the Lord's time had survived in the 
            homes of various devotees and passed down over the generations. The 
            organizers located these devotees and obtained some of the things 
            with their cooperation. The contribution of these devotees has helped 
            to enrich the museum. Once the things were obtained, a detailed historical 
            sketch of each and every item was documented and its authenticity 
            verified. The things are displayed today in such a way that the minimum 
            of deterioration will take place due to atmospheric effects as well 
            as external lighting effects.Scietifically 
            restored and treated, the holy objects satisfy the spiritual thirst 
            of the visitors. As they pay their homage, the visit turns into a 
            private pilgrimage! The museum is divided into various halls:
 
 Hall of Garments:
 It displays the textiles worn by the Lord.
 
 Hall of Travels:
 It displays the Lord's Wooden sandals and cart.
 
 Hall of Festivals:
 It displays the objects used in festivities.
 
 Hall of Holy Remains:
 It displays hair,teeth and ashes of the Lord.
 
 The One and Only:
