The ISKCON Temple, Ghaziabad—formally known as Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan Mandir—is a prominent Hindu spiritual and cultural center operated by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Located in Raj Nagar, this temple serves as a key hub for devotees of Lord Krishna in the Delhi-NCR region, offering daily worship, kirtans, and community outreach programs.
Architecture and Facilities
Built with pink Jaipur stone and intricate wooden carvings, the four-story complex features ornate marble interiors, gold-leaf ceilings, and a spiral staircase. The temple houses beautifully adorned deities of Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan, Sri Sri Jagannath Baladeva Subhadra, and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai. It also includes a fifteen-room guesthouse for pilgrims and visitors.

ISKCON Ghaziabad conducts a full daily program of devotional services including Mangala Aarti at 4:30 a.m., Shringar Aarti, Srimad Bhagavatam lectures, and evening Gaura Aarti. On Sundays, a “Love Feast” featuring kirtan, discourses, and free prasadam (sanctified food) draws large congregations. The temple celebrates major Vaishnava festivals such as Janmashtami and Ratha Yatra with public processions across nearby towns.

Beyond its devotional functions, the temple actively engages in food distribution programs, spiritual education, and charity initiatives. It is guided by the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C.
