A grand-scale project on Vaikuntha Hill is conceived by the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore led by Madhu Pandit Dasa, in pursuance of Srila Prabhupada’s desire to build a grand temple like Tirumala. It will consist of two temples and a cultural complex. Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Sri Rajadhiraja Govinda Temple were inaugurated recently. The magnificent Krishna Leela Theme Park is currently under construction.

Sri Rajadhiraja Govinda Temple was inaugurated by Shri Ram Nath Kovind, Former President of India, on June 14, 2022, in commemoration of the 125th birth anniversary of Srila Prabhupada.

This is the first stone temple of ISKCON Bangalore and is constructed as per traditional shilpa shastras in the Dravidian style of architecture. The design and aesthetics, including the seven doors to the sanctum, are inspired by the famous Sri Venkateshwara Swamy temple in Tirumala. The deity of Lord Srinivasa is nearly the same height and has been named Sri Rajadhiraja Govinda, which means He is the King of kings.

Sri Rajadhiraja Govinda Temple is surrounded by the shrines of Sri Sudarshana Narasimha, Sri Mahalakshmi, Sri Lakshmi Narasimha, Bhakta Hanuman and Garuda deva. A separate shrine has been constructed for Srila Prabhupada, where his achala shila murti, a black stone deity, is installed. This has been done for the first time in the history of ISKCON.

A large queuing hall will be available where about 5,000 devotees can wait comfortably to have the darshan of the Lord. A large Nitya Annadana hall will benefit all the pilgrims through free meals. The campus will also provide spiritual and cultural education for children, youth and families.

Sri Rajadhiraja Govinda Temple and cultural complex is a unique amalgamation of tradition and modernity that is poised to become a prominent spiritual landmark in Karnataka, attracting visitors from all over India. This temple has been constructed due to the generous contributions of donors and patrons.
