ISKCON Temple Bangalore
ಇಸ್ಕಾನ್ ದೇವಾಲಯ
A large modern temple on Hare Krishna Hill, with golden flagpoles and chanting ceremonies that leave a strong impression.
Completed in 1997, this is one of the largest ISKCON temples in the world. It blends traditional Dravidian architecture with modern glass structures and enshrines Krishna and Radha in its main sanctum. The visitor route climbs a ramp, and you queue up as you go, chanting prayers along the way. At the exit, there are plenty of vegetarian snack stalls and souvenir shops. Entry is free. Shoes must be removed before entering the sanctum, and photography is not permitted inside. The temple is open in the morning and evening and closed at midday. It's located in Rajajinagar. Get off at Mantri Square Sampige Road station or Sandal Soap Factory station, then take a taxi.
