Built
as recently as 1998, the ISKCON temple complex at Hari Krishna Hill in
East of Kailash is one of the most lavish and grand temples of Delhi. A
fine example of architecture, it sports 'Shikharas' rising to a height
of 90-ft above ground level and centrally air-conditioned hall that can
hold as many as 1,500 people at once. The fine art paintings by Russian
artists here depict lives and events related to Hindu mythological
characters such as Radha-Krishna, Sita-Ram, Laxman, Hanuman and
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Special sermons and prayer meeting are held in the
temple, every Sunday afternoon. Dedicated mainly to Lord Krishna, the
elegant temple was built by the followers of 'Hare-Rama Hare-Krishna'
cult. One of the largest temple complexes in India, it also boasts of a
Robot, which was built especially to enact and preach 'Gita'. The temple
remains opened every day from 4.30 am to noontime and from 4.00 pm to
9.00 pm.
