\n

The world\u2019s tallest temple in question is Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir under construction at a whopping cost of $1 billion<\/strong>. Speculated to be one of the most expensive temple buildings in the world, this ISKCON temple will boast an astounding height of 700 feet on completion. Interestingly, the temple will surpass the world\u2019s tallest Statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (597 feet) in height.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Vrindavan<\/a><\/p>\n

The temple complex sprawls over 62 acres, while the 7-story temple building will have a total floor area of 540,000 square feet. <\/strong>A contemporary touch to the temple\u2019s traditional Nagara style of architecture is meant to serve ISKCON\u2019s purpose to reinterpret the profound wisdom from India\u2019s ancient scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam within the modern context to render their eternal relevance to the current generation.<\/p>\n

The towering structure will have four temples on its four ends. The temples will be dedicated to Krishna Balram, Radha Krishna, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and Swami Prabhupada. The main temple housing the idols of Radha Krishna will have a grand prayer hall that can accommodate 5000 devotees at a time. The prayer hall will be beautified with sculptures and frescoes depicting the life of Lord Krishna in Vrindavan. The soon-to-be inaugurated Mayapur ISKCON Temple near Kolkata<\/a><\/span> will have the largest prayer hall with space for 10,000 devotees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anticipated to be a colossal wonder of white marble, the world\u2019s tallest ISKCON temple will feature a lotus-shaped dome with the glass surface that will be dazzling on moonlight nights<\/strong>. The temple is a dream project for renowned architect Bimal Patel, a Padma Shri awardee, and his team. He is the chief architect for the Rs 14000cr Centra Vista, Gandhinagar Akshardham Temple, Gujarat High Court, Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, Varanasi Viswanath Dham, and the new campus of IIM Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n

The upcoming Radha Krishna temple site in the holy land of Vrindavan will also house a spiritual sanctuary comprising 12 forests<\/strong>, which will be named Madhuvana, Talavana, Kumudavana, Bahulavana, Kamyavana, Khadiravana, Vrindavana, Bhadravana, Bilvavana, Lohavana, Bhandiravana, and Mahavana after the twelve gardens of Brijbhumi. These forests are said to be modelled on the gardens described in the stories of Sri Krishna. Each forest will be landscaped with orchards, lush vegetation, green pastures, waterfalls, lotus ponds, musical fountains and artificial hillocks.<\/p>\n

There will be a heritage museum, a library, a cultural center, and a viewing tower with telescopes at the Vrindavan Chandrodaya Temple complex. <\/strong>Visitors can catch panoramic views of the premises, Vrindavan town and the Yamuna River from the viewing tower.

Seva being integral to the culture and philosophy of ISKCON temples worldwide, the Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir will have a spacious Annadanam Hall<\/strong> and food distribution counters. Sadhus, pilgrims and the underprivileged will be served sattvic meals in the well-ventilated Annadanam Hall, while the food distribution counters will offer one serving of prasadam to every visitor. A huge temple kitchen where sattvic food will be cooked for the deities, priests and visitors is also on the construction agenda.<\/p>\n
