Our Sacred Heritage

The Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir stands as a testament to the vision of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.

The temple represents the fulfilled dream of Srila Prabhupada, who personally oversaw every aspect of its design and construction, creating a sanctuary of unparalleled spiritual beauty and significance.
