    True devotees of Krishna live here. The temple provide lodging facilities to visiters. Food is available in affordable price. Unlike other spiritual institutions, it is not a commercial centre. Things are available in affordable price. It is always good to visit the place. While visiting, u find some time to chat with those monks over there. They can contribute a lot to ur life. Their file is really spiritual and not religious alone.

    A peaceful place to spend some time in spirituality. This place is covered with peace of mind and gratitude towards Lord Krishna. The aradhana periods are very joyous and calming. The temple has an outstanding ceiling painting of Lord Krishna. The temple has sculptures of various stages of Lord Krishna's entire childhood and lifelong activities. Food is available at an affordable price here. Things are also available at an affordable price here. It is a good place to visit.

    Well planned, nicely architectured & well decorated Lord Shri Krishna Temple spread in large area comprises of cow shed, a pond, few shops & some other temples within the campus. The sculpture of Lord Shri Krishna & Radha is nicely decorated. The prayer hall is very large, can accommodate about 150 decotees at a time. Parking for cars & bikes are inside the temple premises. There are few gardens which is nicely maintained. The devotee can buy "Prasad" inside the temple only.

    Radhe Radhe 🙏 My visit to the ISKCON Temple is always an unforgettable experience of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Once in, the atmosphere is filled with a palpable sense of peace and tranquillity. The inside of the temple exuded a divine aura, wrapping the visitors in a serene atmosphere. The beautifully ornamented divinity of Lord Krishna, the presiding divinity of the temple, radiated an aura of devotion and grace, instilling a sense of reverence in all who have seen it. If you are seeking a place to find solace, immerse yourself in devotion, and experience, the beauty of Krishna consciousness, I highly recommend visiting the sacred temple.

    Very nice place. The temple and its interior is very mesmerising. The store is very basic, but lots of books are available for purchase. The behaviour of the lady at the MahaPrasad counter was very rude and hence I have deducted one star. A true devotee cannot be rude.

    This place is covered with peace of mind and gratitude towards Lord Krishna. Other than that, the temple has an outstanding ceiling painting of Lord Krishna. The aradhana periods are very joyous and calming. And the the best part, the temple has pictures of various stages of Lord Krishna's entire childhood and lifelong activities. Loved this place!

    A beautiful and holy site. Enjoyed and blessed by the Bajans/kirtan. You need to leave your shoes at the gate (stall) however the floor inside isn't really clean. The huge warning signboards "NO SELFIE" is intrusive and ugly.

    The temple opens at 4 PM in the evening and offers a serene and quiet atmosphere. There are plenty of food stalls and souvenir shops around the temple. The walls are adorned with amazing pieces of art that depict stories from the Mahabharat. The blessings from Lord Krishna are always present.

    The temple is neat and clean. Holy place to worship and chanting. There is light and sound show on the second floor. Must visit that. If you are a tourist, the auto/e-Rikshaw can charge you rs 100 to take you there. There is a sharing Rikshaw too which can charge you rs 15. For keeping your slipper you have to pay rs 10. For using washroom- rs 10 Sound and light show- rs 30 Pandit May ask you to do charity- 50-500 rs Be prepared.

    The ISKCON Siliguri temple seems to be an excellent place to visit for those who want to get involved in Krishna consciousness. The temple is located on a beautiful and spacious property on Siliguri ISKCON road, making it easy to find and access. One of the standout features of the temple is its delicious prasadam. Prasadam is the food that is offered to Lord Krishna and then distributed to the devotees. It's wonderful to hear that the food is so delicious at the ISKCON Siliguri temple. A good meal is always a great way to connect with others and feel nourished. Another great aspect of the temple is the helpfulness of the devotees. It's always reassuring to know that there are people who are willing to help and guide visitors who are new to the temple or Krishna consciousness. The warm and welcoming environment of the temple can help people feel at ease and foster a sense of community. Finally, it's worth noting that people receive peace when they visit the temple. Temples like ISKCON Siliguri are often seen as places of spiritual refuge, where people can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with something larger than themselves. It's wonderful to hear that people are finding peace and solace when they visit the temple. Overall, it sounds like ISKCON Siliguri is a great place to visit for those who are interested in Krishna consciousness. With delicious prasadam, helpful devotees, and a peaceful atmosphere, the temple provides a space for people to connect with others and deepen their spiritual practice.

    Located at the heart of Siliguri. Public transport is easily available , so it's not a problem if you don't have personal transport. I was there on a weekday , it's not crowded at all ( at least at the time of my visit) . It's nice and clean and very calm place .

    Avoid using restroom.. first you have to remove your footwear for entry inside the temple and the restroom are not upto the mark.

    Good space in and around the main temple, and then there are bhu-varaha, shri ram, and shri jagannath temple in the same premise. Birds chirping in the distance, is a beautiful thing to enjoy. There is small park with swings for children and a book store for grown ups. Reached at 7 and was told to wait as darshan will start at 8. I think this is the general timing for people coming for darshan, as temples were being opened and cleaned. And no stores or offices were open. Additionally locals come for morning walks here. Meanwhile i was asked and taught about Krishna, by a devotee here. Suggested me bhagwat geeta and bhagwatam to read.

    Nice and cozy temple complex. Reached there at the time of evening aarti, the environment was electrifying... Will visit again. Prasad counter (which sells sweet Prasad) was pathetic and the sweets were all substandard. Iskcon should look into it

    ISKON every where in the world is famous. I visit often this place. So clean and spiritual environment. If you're seeking peace and calm in the day to day life..you should visit the temple. Just one thing boggling my mind is - they charge for kid zone and washroom access, which i didn't find cool at all.

    We had visited around 5 PM on a weekday - Wednesday with friends. We had a good time, Neat and clean temple with all kind of facilities from free water to washrooms (that too well maintained). Shops all around for shopping various items related to ISCON. Coming to main attraction the temple is peaceful, beautiful. There is a provision of light and sound show and a chariot where you can pay and get your photos clicked. A must visit if you are interested and in Siliguri.

    I went on Holi. It was a very good experience. Many devotees had gathered and all were chanting Krishna's name. You will also want to match their rhythm.

  • 3/5 Malvika A. 1 year ago on Google
    Among the iskcon temples that I have visited, honestly I did not find it as appealing as the other ones. The paintings and art inside is really good, the architecture is good and the actual idols are also really pretty! But it has become a typical commercialized temple. There are stalls inside where they ask you to pay donations if you're not from their city. I feel donations should be taken just by placing boxes where I can put money if I want to and not stalls where people ask for giving money to them as donation. The garden is well kept and the shop is good and affordable prices were there.

    I visited the temple during the evening if you visit by 5 pm you can offer puja there and witness the mesmerizing dance performed by the devotees to lord Krishna followed by Arti and can have Prasad. There's a book stall where you can purchase a new collection of books. I bought one book "Finding Lost Happiness".You can even visit the terrace where you will find a wonderful view of the temple. At the end of the day, visiting the Iskon temple fills you with positivity and you feel happy 😊

    This place is very close to our heart. I prefer to visit here every time when I go to Siliguri. You can get autorickshaw to reach the temple. The temple close time is 8:30pm you have to leave the temple before 8:30pm. You can see the light show on the top floor of the temple by paying 10 rupees entry fees.
