The ISKCON temple complex sits on a hillock, with gleaming gopurams, wide staircases and a modern, well-organised darshan route. Devotees move through shrines of Radha-Krishna, Balaji and other deities, with kirtan, prasad counters and book shops around. The atmosphere is devotional but very clean and systematised, blending temple tradition with contemporary crowd management, food courts and cultural programmes.
About this place
History & highlights
Built in the 1990s, ISKCON Bengaluru is one of the largest ISKCON complexes in the world. It was developed by the movement’s local leadership with strong support from Bengaluru’s growing middle class and IT community. The architecture uses modern materials while incorporating traditional shikhara forms. In a few decades, it has turned into a major spiritual and tourist landmark, representing the new-wave Bhakti movement and the city’s globalised, professional population who still seek devotional spaces.
