Congressman Pete Sessions, who represents the 17th District of Texas, visited the Swaminarayan Akshardham on July 20, 2023.
During his visit, he had an opportunity to engage with constituents from his district who serve as volunteers at Akshardham and learn about their enriching experiences. He toured the Akshardham campus, enjoying the intricate carvings in stone and wood that hold stories of inspiration, and shared a traditional Indian meal with Swamis and a diverse group of volunteers.
When asked about his impressions from the visit, Rep. Sessions shared, “When people have faith, when people understand that diversity is important, that inclusiveness is important, those are the kind of people you want to be around.”
