ISKCON Temple - New Delhi

After visiting the Lotus Temple we (my father and I) decided to visit the ISKCON temple. I had first visited this temple with Debdoot and Praveen just before leaving for the internship. I didn't have a camera as I bought one only after my internship as I had decided not to touch my salary account and live on the Rs 5K stipend and the earnings from my internships. The camera was worth the wait.



The entrance or the Gopuram of the temple, as shown in the above snap, is visible from the lotus temple.



The idol of Lord Garuda is at the entrance of the temple. The entrance was beautifully decorated with the Gerbera flowers. They were fresh however the heat was sucking the freshness of these flowers.



On entering, the idols of deities and the garlands catch the attention of the eye. The garbha gudi of the temple was airconditioned to keep the garlands of fruits and flowers fresh. The sad thing is the excessive usage of lightning to give a glories like effect on the idols.



As the sun began to set, the heat became bearable. The birds were relishing on the artificial fall created in the temple precises. Surprisingly the area was free from bird dropping.



Typical of all ISCON temples, one can find a book stall with huge volumes which are the translations of the Bhagwad Gita and an auditorium motivating the visitors to follow the path of Krishna.
