| |
Iskcon also known as International
Society for Krishna Consciousness is located in Rajajinagar
area of Bangalore. Before the construction of the temple this
place had a huge mountain full of rocks which was then taken
over by this society for the construction of the temple. This
temple has been constructed using a combination of both modern
and traditional south indian temple architecture. In this
temple the statues of Lord Krisha, Narasimha, Srinivasa are
adorned. Lakhs of devotees can be seen in the Rath Yatra (a
procession which includes a god seated in a chariot) which
is held during the month of August or September on the occasion
of Krishna Janmashtami. The temple is one of the beautiful
places in Bangalore. The main attraction in the temple are
the Multivision Cinema theatre, Vedic Library, a marrige hall
called "Dwarakapuri" and a conference hall called
"Mathura". The temple management also conducts classes
in Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-Gita. One of the most important
programmes of the Temple is the "Akshaya Patra"
programme in which Lunch is provided to the children of most
of the Government Schools. For people visiting to Bangalore,
this is a must place to visit.
