When in Bangalore all tour operators will surely take one to this temple. Even though new the temple has been constructed beautifully and well known in the city. ISKCON Temple is the temple of Lord Krishna and Radha. It is located at Rajajinagar, in the North Bangalore.
Built on a small hillock it is one of the largest ISKCON temples in the world. The construction of the temple that sprawls on 7 acres of land is completed in 1997. Built in neo-classical style of architecture, the temple brings together conventional architecture with ultra-modern services.
The Temple has six shrines. The main shrine is for Radha-Krishna. Others are Krishna Balrama, Nitai Gauranga, Srinivasa Govinda, Prahlada Narasimha and Srila Prabhupada.
The main hall of the temple covering a area of 10000 sq ft has the first three shrines that are listed above. The ceiling of the hall is decorated with beautiful paintings of Lord Krishna made by the Russian painters.

It's nice to see that they are still building new temples. I wonder how this will hold up in 400 years? I like your photos.
ReplyDeleteI somehow don't like this temple ,find it just like any other mall in Bangalore .
ReplyDeleteIt is in my wish list for a very long time.. ! Nice!
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing temple - really really beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see a "newly built" temple! In fact it is very traditional and elaborate like most of your buildings, but it has a little air of modernity to it that make it stand out!
ReplyDeleteCaptivating and meaningful as classical temple architecture is, I would like to see contemporarily relevant architecture in modern temple constructions.
ReplyDeleteWhat marvellous shots. Love the sun-drenched look in the first one.
ReplyDeleteI have been to this temple before. Beautiful & serene place.
ReplyDeleteThat is huge! 10K sq. ft. in the main hall?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is beautiful. Are those blue rectangles on the roof solar panels?
