Temple of Understanding
Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple of Understanding
The Hare Krishna temple in Chatsworth, its lotus-shaped building surrounded by a moat and gardens. The vegetarian restaurant inside is popular.
Designed by an Austrian architect and completed in 1985, the temple blends lotus forms with modern geometry. Its interior is richly decorated with marble and ceiling murals. Visitors can enter for free, and there are public events on Sundays. The Govinda vegetarian restaurant inside serves Indian vegetarian food. The temple is about 20 km southwest of the city center, in Chatsworth, so you'll need to take a taxi.
