The Akshardham metro station is a Delhi Metro station on the Blue Line operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited. The station lies between Pandav Nagar on one side and the Akshardham Mandir and the Commonwealth Games Village on the other. It was designed to be a complement of the Akshardham Mandir located nearby.[1] When it was completed on 12 November 2009, the station was the tallest metro station within the Delhi Metro system (the record is currently held by the Mayur Vihar-I metro station on the Pink Line).[2] The station serves commuters travelling to the mandir and provided transport for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.[3]
