Monumental 70-Storey Skyscraper Temple To Be Built In Vrindavan; Check All The Deets From Whopping Cost To Brilliant Architecture

A 70-storey skyscraper temple is under construction in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. The temple will be known as the Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir or Vrindavan Heritage Tower and will accommodate one of the biggest parking facilities, multi-level parking for over 3,000 cars at a time. It is expected that the temple will be a major display of Indian culture internationally, boosting tourism in India and the local economy, a top ISKCON leader said, as reported by HT.

Chanchalapathi Dasa, the vice chairman and co-mentor of the Global Hare Krishna Movement and senior vice president of ISKCON Bangalore, recently did an interview with the news agency PTI and talked about the need for religious infrastructures to boost tourism in India.

He said, “And another example, I'll tell you, our honourable prime minister has been making a statement, giving a call to the Indian diaspora. Please bring five Americans from America to bring them to India and show them India. When you bring them to India, of course, anybody who's coming from any part of the world, when they're coming to India, they're looking for spirituality."

“Of course, they may see good airports. All those things are also impressive and interesting and it should be there. They're also looking for spirituality. So we must have spiritual infrastructures, religious infrastructures (Banke Bihari Temple Secrets), which you can be proud of, to bring foreigners and show them," the ISKCON leader added.

"And when you bring them to Vrindavan, you must be able to show this kind of a world-class infrastructure built around the message of Krishna. And so that is another important objective,” he further emphasised.
