The best place in Chennai for pure devotional lovers. A must visit Lord Krishna temple with such an excellent atmosphere to worship and seek blessings. The Architecture of the Temple is a delight to eyes. A private function hall is associated with the temple with a perfect, neat and clean ambience. Well maintained banquet hall with a peaceful restaurant with Natures touch. Gift shop and the Kids play area is an added highlight for conducting functions. An ideal place for your family functions. Such a gem of a place to visit in Chennai

It was a quite place and you would definitely get a peace feeling when you visit the temple. The idols are superbly crafted. There are a lot of good books available for purchase, both for adults as well as children. The books for children have a combination of stories as well as colouring options depicting the different characters already talked about in the book.

The vibe of this place feels different to the core. The chants of Hare Krishna Mantra and the melodious kirtans can be heard all the time here. Tastiest prasadam is being provided here, perfect food which is enough how much every is provided to be taken for fulfilling tummy. They provide many facilities for public and devotees to come and attend numerous events and spend time to become spiritually rich. Almost every languages holy books and self development/reflection ancient to modern books are available here. I love to spend time here.

Must visit for Krishna devotees. Excellent ambience. Peace assured with divine blessings. But after corona during first week of July, we were not allowed to sit and meditate at temple premises. Otherwise it’s a boon to be there.

The decorations of the deities was surreal. Why dont you make arrangements to acquire Swamy Prabhupadas coin and make it available for baktas at the temple premises. Please consider our request.It will be good rather than going to the banks.Thank you.

Beautiful temple to visit but not as big as the one in Bangalore. I visited during a weekday and no crowd. Good ambience. It did not take more than 10 mins to finish the Dharsan. You can find a small play area for kids near the entrance, mini snack stall while you climb the steps, book stalls inside the temple. Huge car parking area available.

A beautiful temple of Lord Krishna located in a serene area, with adequate car parking and also a good restaurant.You can find many Hindu religious discourse books in the temple to fulfill your needs (I could find a shelf containing the whole Srimath Bhagavatham series).Be sure to follow their Telegram group as they upload photos of the deities everyday.

Review №19

Nice place to spend a evening. But 4 stars due to below,1. Focussed on collecting charity money to run and feed large mass of its employees2. Not devotee friendly as always - no drinking water, no toilets near by, one single lift in one corner3. What the hell of pay and use toilet - why does iskon have to beg for one ruppee per urinal????Again no offence on iskon organization but my frustration is this local management messing up social service motive of spreading awareness with earning money to support themselves

Stunning energy, immaculately clean and a grand sand befitting palace of Krishna. The temple is architecturally speaking, exquisite and a sight to see. The size, layout and sheer grandeur of the Krishna Consciousness Society, is a gift to us !!! They have opened the revered Govinda, and the seating is out in a Brindavan garden. As I sit here I feel a powerful Omnipresence ! A must visit place in Akkarai on ECR,Chennai.So energised and inspired. Thank you Krishna.

There are many paintings in this temple showing the story and Avathars of lord Vishnu. There is s book shop inside the temple. It contains more books about lord Vishnu. There is a play area near the temple for children. Drinking water is available. The is a huge space around the temple for parking. Two wheelers cost 10₹ for parking. Maintenance was very good. Must visit place in ECR.

A real feel good spacious property in ECR. This is close to VGP Golden beach and resort. The place has a ample parking space which is good to hold atleast 100 cars and numerous 2 wheelers.Temple has a enter and exit scheme. You have to climb up to get the Darshan of The Lord who will make you forget yourself.You can donate for “Anna Dhanam” in the denomination of ₹200, ₹500 & ₹1000.Camera is strictly not allowed inside the premises and they are under CCTV surveillance.They also sell books and other products. When you are about to exit, you could also see a dedicated section wherein used books are sold at 50% from the MRP.There is a small play area for the kids. Adjacent to it is a veg restaurant.I visited this place for a family wedding. Covid rules were followed. The hall is on the ground floor. They also offer in-house Brahmin food catering. You would surely love it being here :)

This temple is located on ECR. The place where it is located is very peaceful and away from the noise-full and polluted city. Temple is built in North Indian style and all Idols are in North Indian style. The prasadham they serve is very good. Temple will be over crowded during weekend so better to visit during week days.

Beautiful Krishna temple situated in between OMR(Sholinganallur) & ECR (Akkarai). Premises cleanly maintained. Good space available for parking. Evening time lightings look awesome, wonderful.Sit & Meditate Lord Krishna. Bhajan conducted in evenings. Nice Marriage / Function hall available. Temple fully built in white marble. Temple architecture looks great. Great landmark in that surrounding area so easily accessible.Giving 4 star because canteen available but a bit costly which is not affordable by everyone for a low quantity food. Quality is great. Otherwise its should be 5 star.Hare Rama Hare Rama... Rama Rama Hare Hare,Hare Krishna Hare Krishna...Krishna Krishna Hare Hare... !!!!

Its always good to be in any ISKCON temple around the world.We were pleased a lot after visiting in this temple, reason behind Chennai is full of its own kind of temple premises and the design of this temple is like other ISKCON temples. Not a lot of rush here, more or less may be the reason of distance from main city.The Veg reastraunt here full fill your tummy with utmost hygiene and balanced price list.The banquet hall of this place can be utilised for get together or small family functions.The menu may be if your choice, advance booking is mandatory.The gift shop permit you to take away some of the Kurtas, stickers, wall paintings,T Shirts etc.
