Overview

The Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir, popularly known as the ISKCON Temple, is one of the most prominent international spiritual centres in India. Established in 1975 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, it is situated in Raman Reti, the sacred place where Krishna and Balaram played as children. The temple is a stunning example of white marble architecture and is famous for its continuous 24-hour Akhanda Kirtan (chanting). It serves as a global meeting point for devotees from all over the world, blending traditional Vedic culture with modern international outreach.
