Divine place to have some peace in the middle of daily chaotic life. I really like the hare ram hare Krishna chanting and how iskcon community enjoys the Pooja rituals. Whenever I feel stressed I do come here. Temple premise is very neat and well maintained.

I visited the ISKCON temple today. My understanding is that you can only visit while the prayer sessions are in progress. Of course this makes it all the more interesting.I would say its more of a Tourist spot then a Temple ,Very discplined and clean .beautiful Moortis of Gods.Lot of books available for improving your spiritual knowledge.
Hare Krishna 🙌♥

One of the most peaceful places i have ever been ♥, their chantings are heavenly. A space to declutter your mind and get the utmost calmness. I spend hours here once in while. Food and drinks are delicious. Their rose water sarbath is a good try; book stalls are also available.

Very peaceful environment. Food served in the food court is very tasty and hygiene. Only one request to the temple administrator Prabhu. Please, try to keep the commercial bit stuffs away from the Sanctum. You have plenty of space outside for the charity related activities. Thanks.

The ISKCON Temple in Chennai is a serene and spiritually charged place that offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Dedicated to Lord Krishna, the temple is known for its architectural beauty, intricate carvings, and vibrant spiritual atmosphere.

Visitors often appreciate the calming ambiance inside the temple complex, where they can participate in prayer sessions, attend spiritual discourses, and witness engaging cultural performances. The temple also houses a vegetarian restaurant, contributing to the overall experience.

However, the popularity of the temple can sometimes result in larger crowds, affecting the level of tranquility. Despite this, many find the visit to the ISKCON Temple in Chennai to be a spiritually enriching and culturally immersive experience.

It's a very lovely place. The presiding deity Lord Krishna is worshipped in a unique style. Very divine and serene.
They have a book shop selling devotional books, gift articles etc. They too have a canteen selling satvik food at a nominal price. Would strongly recommend this temple for all those who want to experience and get the blessings of Lord Krishna

The temple was incredibly beautiful, and I was fortunate to arrive right at the time of aarti. I witnessed the deep devotion people have for Krishna as they danced to His name; it was a beautiful sight. Immersed in the atmosphere, I began chanting myself. Additionally, I had the pleasure of enjoying the delicious prasad. The combination of spiritual nourishment and tasty prasad made the visit truly memorable.
I’d love to visit again :)

Truly, happiness comes when You will visit these serene and holy places.I believe everything starts at the lotus feet of Hare Krishna and ends there.

One of the peaceful temples in Chennai. Unlike other Krishna temples, ISKCON takes pain to decorate the deities beautifully on any given day. So you will always have the pleasure of seeing the most beautiful Lord Krishna. Though it is located in the southern end of Chennai city it will surely be worth a visit.

They even have party halls to commemorate some special days like Naming ceremony, betrothal, engagement etc.

Absolutely serene and divine place to visit. Awfully crowded over the weekends. Need atleast an hour to look around and spend time participating in the prayers.

Reading material for all age groups available at their in- house shop.
There is also a small gift shop next to Satwik the pure veg restaurant. The restaurant serves absolutely delicious, piping hot , pure vegetarian north and south- Indian food.

Peaceful place where you can sit and devote your time for praying. No rush during day time. Arti is memersizing... it starts slowly and then gradually energy level increases as more and more people participate in chanting Hare Krishna Hare Rama.

Food is also good in the canteen. Free food (prasad meals) on Sundays only.

Beautiful serene temple amidst the city, easily accessible by bus and private vehicles . Ample parking space for your vehicle. Morning Aarti is bliss and one must attend that. Very peaceful place, no dress code but recommended to go in Indian attire when it's about temple & religious place. If you’re lucky to get the prasad, it’s very tasty 😋

The temple is beautifully divine with lots of parking space. The grand temple hall occupies more than 500 people at a time. Poojas are held at particular timings and a bookstall stands at a corner of the temple hall. As you walk around the main deity, Lord Krishna's paintings explain the leelas he made in Brindavan, a lovely sight. The temple hall is bright and airy with glass panes of different chakras decorating the walls.
The hotel at the entrance of the temple offers a splendid ambience. Clean toilets available at the rear end. Children's play park is right in front of the parking lot. Prasadam is continuously distributed nearby as you take leave.

Lovely. Try to put paths with concrete floor full in parking area. It's difficult to walk in parking area and also shollinganallur connection route road backside of the temple also road to be needed and night lamps is must needed.very dark and small path which is not proper to connect shollinganallur road in evening and nights.That's it. Jai shree Krishna.

Very beautiful place, Very well maintained. It has got nice cafeteria as well, we had had our lunch also here. Visited with my family. A calm place where we can relax and reflect on ourselves. After spending some 2hrs here we could visit beach or other places of interest nearby.

Nice place where you can feel the divineness of the place. I visited in the evening; it was not very crowded at that time. Some Bhajana was going inside the premises. Photography is not allowed inside the premises, but I could see some of them clicking pictures. Meditation sessions were going on inside; some of them were explaining about our culture and other things.

There will be prasadam distributed outside the temple, and there is a canteen available on the left side of the temple. The washroom facility is available in the left corner, and they have maintained the hygiene. I'm not sure about the hotels available here. I can say it will be a must-visit for devotees.

We can do meditation to our fullest satisfaction. Visiting devotees should maintain silence. The sales office adjacent to the temple sells several products of ISKCON.

We visited the ISKCON at around 7:30 PM and was enthralled to see Bhajan. Devotees were dancing to the Krishna bhajan. It gave such a pleasant and joyful vibration.
