ISKCON Temple

Located in Shollinganallur,  the ISKCON Temple is a Vaishnava temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Built solely with donations received from the city residents, this temple was built as part of ISKCON's founder, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's goal to spread the message of Lord Chaitanya and have a strong establishment in India. Spread across 1.5 acres of land, this temple displays several vastu shastra features along with a mix of Pallava and Kalinga architecture. The main attraction is the chandelier that has 500 Himalayan quartz crystals that are supposedly meant to intensify the spiritual energy in the temple. You can also find three teakwood altars in the temple hall.
