THE TEMPLE FOR THE KRISHNA CONSCIOUS

On the top of a rocky hillock named the Hare Krishna hill, in the middle of Bangalore stands this beautiful temple which is modernized and well maintained. It is called the ISKCON temple. ISKCON stands for International Society for the Krishna Conscious.

This is one of the grandest temple in Bangalore. It was built using latest technology and it has marbled floor. The temple also has the world’s tallest flag pole. The Gopurams (towers) are connected by heat strengthened blue glass.

It is said that it is 200 feet above the road level and the staircase leads to the temple doors. The queue inside the temple is well maintained by trained guards. It then leads to the hall where the idols of Lord Krishna and Radha are located. The hall is large and spacious and it can accommodate around 2000 devotees at a time.

The temple complex also has the Dwarakapuri Hall where wedding ceremonies are held. There is a Pravachan hall where Vedic slokas (verses) are recited and stories about Lord Krishna’s life are told. Guests can choose to stay back at the Guest house which has 40 rooms to accommodate guests.
