Iskcon Temple

Newly constructed ISKCON temple is one of the most impressive ones with funds coming from devotees overseas. The marble buildings exude their own brilliance and present an example of intricate carving. It owes its existence to Swami Prabhupada, a Hindu devotee born in Bengal in 1896. Today, ISKON is a worldwide movement with followers from many different ethnic backgrounds.

This beautiful temple was established in 1975 by his Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and has now become Vrindavana's most popular temple. Hare Krishna devotees from around the world can be seen here throughout the year, bringing truly international flavour to this ancient holy city.

The central Deities are Sri Sri Krishna Balarama and on the right altar is Sri Sri Radha-Syamasundar and the gopis Lalita and Visakha. On the left altar is Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda, along with the murtis of Srila Prabhupada and his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami. Of all the temples in Vrindavana, the Krishna Balarama Mandir has one of the highest standards of Deity worship and cleanliness. The devotees of the Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON) follow strictly the principles of Vaisnava Dharma.
