ISKCON NVCC Temple

Reviewed By Akshay345 - New Delhi, India

This is a part of a chain of ISKCON temples In India. The temple is nice, clean and beautifully built. It has a standard architecture and idols of Lord Krishna and other gods. When the temple was built it was the lone structure and now it is surrounded by multi-storied buildings all around. Parking is an issue at this complex and one may need to park at a distance and walk along. There is a lift for needy persons from the ground floor to the top. One must check the darshan timings on the internet to avoid a disappointment.
