ISKCON Bhubaneswar stands in the IRC Village area of Nayapalli, and is listed among the city’s notable modern temples — alongside Bhubaneswar’s Ram Mandir — built in addition to its many ancient temples, per Wikipedia’s Bhubaneswar article. The temple’s own materials trace its establishment to instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in 1977, as part of his wider effort to plant ISKCON centers across India during that decade. The complex includes a guesthouse and a Govinda’s restaurant, and observes a full Gaudiya Vaishnava festival calendar including Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Ratha Yatra, Gaura Purnima, Snana Yatra, Chandan Yatra, and Balarama Purnima.
