ISKCON Temple Chennai

ISKCON Temple Chennai, Hindu temple in Sholinganallur, India.

ISKCON Temple Chennai is a Hindu temple located in Sholinganallur, Tamil Nadu. The sanctuary houses multiple teak-wood altars dedicated to Radha Krishna and several other deities.

ISKCON's Chennai presence began in 1975 with a centre at Kilpauk, which moved to T. Nagar in 1988. In 2000, devotees led by Bhanu Swami acquired 6.5 acres at Injambakkam, and construction started on 17 March 2002. The temple, built on 45,000 sq ft for ₹100 million, was inaugurated on 26 April 2012.

The temple design incorporates Pallava and Kalinga architectural elements, with marble flooring depicting Hindu universes centered around Mount Meru according to Vedic cosmology.

The temple is open from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The last aarati, sayana arati, is at 9:00 pm and lasts about 15 minutes. A booklet explaining the vastu shastra features is sold at the bookshop near the portico.

A 500-crystal Himalayan quartz chandelier hangs in the temple, meant to intensify spiritual energy, and a life-like statue of a cow feeding its calf stands at the portico. The annual Ratha Yatra in February carries the deities through Adyar, Besant Nagar and Thiruvanmiyur.
