ISKCON Temple

ISKCON Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha located at Hare Krishna Dham on the Ujjain-Indore Road near Nipania village. Established by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and inaugurated in 2006, it features white marble architecture, deities of Radha-Madan Mohan, and a serene ashram complex. It is notable for daily aartis, kirtans, spiritual discourses, and its peaceful setting away from the city center.

Visitors can expect a white-marble temple complex set in a quiet area on the outskirts of Ujjain. The main temple hall houses decorated deities of Radha-Madan Mohan, Krishna-Balaram and Gaura-Nitai. The complex includes landscaped gardens, a goshala, prasadam hall and gift shop. Visitors can attend mangala, darshan and sandhya aartis, listen to kirtans and discourses, walk around the temple courtyard, and experience a calm devotional atmosphere.

The temple was established by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to promote Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the ancient pilgrimage city of Ujjain. Construction was initiated in the early 2000s and the temple was inaugurated in 2006. It was built to provide a centre for Krishna consciousness, Vedic education and devotional service in the Malwa region.

The temple is dedicated to Radha-Madan Mohan and is an important centre for Krishna devotion in Ujjain, a city traditionally associated with Mahakaleshwar and Shaiva pilgrimage. It hosts major Vaishnava festivals such as Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Gaura Purnima and Ratha Yatra, with kirtans, lectures on Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, and distribution of prasadam.
