The ISKCON Salem temple, also known as the Sri Gaura Radha Gokulananda Temple of Vedic Knowledge and Culture, is located on Hare Krishna Land, Karuppur, Salem, and is spread across 4.5 acres of land. This is ISKCON’s first full stone temple, built with traditional architecture, granite pillars, and intricate carvings — a masterpiece designed to last for 1,000 years without the use of iron.

The temple features:

A 108 ft tall shikhar, adorned with 28 gopi carvings

A sanctum sanctorum with a large hall for 2,000 devotees

Krishna-lila dioramas and 520 ft pink sandstone carvings from Srimad-Bhagavatam

A prasadam hall for 1,500 guests

64 guest rooms, a Youth preaching hall (600 capacity), Vedic samskara hall (700 capacity), and Prabhupada’s Memorial hall

A traditional firewood kitchen with bronze & tin pots using cow dung and firewood

A Gurukul with 25 students, nurturing Vedic values

An eco-friendly Brahmachari ashram, built naturally without electricity

Currently, over 50 brahmacharis and 300 congregation devotees are engaged in preaching activities, bringing Srila Prabhupada’s mission alive. With 70% of the work already complete, the temple is expected to be finished by January 2025.

By the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and the Vaishnavas, ISKCON Salem aspires to become a seat of Vedic culture, spreading the eternal teachings of Lord Krishna far and wide.
