Home Projects

The Vrindavan Chandrodaya Temple, currently under construction in Vrindavan, Mathura, is set to redefine the architectural landscape of religious monuments worldwide. With an ambitious plan to rise to a towering 210 meters (700 feet), equivalent to 75 floors, this iconic structure will symbolize devotion, spirituality, and the principle of Yukta Vairāgya—utilizing material resources for divine purposes.

Inspired by Srila Prabhupada’s vision in 1972, the project embodies his teachings of building monumental temples for Lord Krishna to inspire faith and devotion globally. The temple is being developed under the guidance of the ISKCON Bangalore group, adhering to Prabhupada's instructions to create a grand space for spiritual awakening.

Key Highlights:

  • Scale: Spanning 260 hectares (642 acres), the project includes provisions for 12 acres of parking and a helipad, showcasing modern planning with traditional values.
  • Structure: With a built-up area of 50,000 square meters (540,000 sq ft), the temple will feature awe-inspiring spaces for worship and cultural activities.
  • Design: Crafted with a futuristic approach, the temple architecture integrates cutting-edge engineering with traditional Nagara-style influences.

Historical Significance:

The foundation stone of this monumental temple was laid on March 16, 2014, during the festival of Holi, marking the beginning of a journey to bring Srila Prabhupada's vision to life. The concept originated from his desire to channel the human tendency for grand construction into creating magnificent temples for Krishna.

Highlights of the Vision:

The Vrindavan Chandrodaya Temple is not merely a structure; it’s a beacon of spirituality, fostering deeper connections with Indian culture and Lord Krishna's teachings. The temple will serve as a space for meditation, spiritual learning, and celebration of faith.

As construction progresses, the temple promises to stand as a testimony to the enduring legacy of ISKCON and the universal message of love, devotion, and harmony taught by Lord Krishna.
