Spouses of African leaders to visit Akshardham temple

Spouses of African delegates will be treated to a diverse mix of Indian heritage and culture starting with a visit to Swaminarayan Akshardham temple on Thursday.

They will also interact with "solar grandmothers" who light up homes in Africa using solar energy.

Ruchira Kamboj, India's ambassador to Unesco, told mediapersons here that the nearly four-hour programme for 17 first ladies will be a "very diverse mix" and it attempts to show Indian heritage and culture."
