Iskcon Temple
The Iskcon Temple, 8km (5 miles) northwest of the city, is the local headquarters of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, also known as the Hare Krishnas. It’s a monumental structure that resembles a traditional Dravidian Hindu temple fused with a glass ziggurat. As well as shrines and colourful murals, there’s a cinema showing films on the history of the Hare Krishna movement.
