Project Details
The project took shape understanding the requirements of an ISKCON Centre at Mira Road , through various meetings with the very progressive and active trust. Primary concerns with the planning of the complex were the organization of its various parts as per the requirements as well as according to the dictates of Hindu temple architecture and Vastu Shastra.

The Temple is on the first floor and has independent and central access from the front side. The first floor is reached by grand steps with statues of Jai and Vijay on its sides. The Stair is seen floating over a pond at the entrance which becomes the main feature as one approaches the temple. The Pond has a four elephants with water spouts as a welcoming gesture for the temple complex. As one climbs the stairs the first deity one sees is Lord Narsinha. Four shops at the entrance if the first level lead you to a 3500 sq ft Prayer hall. This Prayer hall has the capacity of holding XXXX devotees and is meant for major functions.
