My mind rest in peace, when, last month I made a visit to Hare
Rama Hare Krishna Temple in Bangalore. A week break from the monotonous
routine schedules has offered me the pleasure of being in close contact
with the Almighty. Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka, South India
boasts of India's largest ISKCON temple. Every year devotees,
irrespective of caste, creed and religion take a trip to the Krishna
temple and purify their thought-process with holy bhajans and mantras.

Society for Krishna Consciousness) was established in the year 1997 and
is one of the cultural landmark in the South India. The temple
represents the Neo-classical style of architecture and its surrounding
is embellished with arches and water jets. The spiritual environment
within the holy complex welcomes tourist, who lingers on in search of
peaceful temple tour in India.
