Prabhupada's Palace of Gold, Religious museum in Moundsville, West Virginia, United States.
The palace combines marble floors, crystal chandeliers, stained glass windows, and mirrored ceilings in a structure decorated with gold leaf and semi-precious stones.
The palace opened in 1979 as part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness community established in the late 1960s in rural West Virginia.
The palace functions as a spiritual center where visitors can explore traditional Indian architecture, participate in ceremonies, and learn about Krishna consciousness practices.
Located at 3759 McCreary's Ridge Road, the palace welcomes visitors from Thursday through Monday with guided tours conducted by members of the community.
