  • historical record: Cross-checked against ISKCON Chandigarh's official website (iskconchandigarh.com) during authoring: confirms the name and address (Hare Krishna Dham, Sector 36-B, Chandigarh), founder-acharya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a 4:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. daily darshan schedule, and programs including Food for Life, youth empowerment, Bhakti Yoga classes, and Janmashtami/Ratha Yatra/Deepotsava celebrations.

For review

  • The specific epithet of the presiding deity (e.g., a named Radha-Krishna form) and the temple's founding/inauguration year could not be confirmed via the sources reviewed during authoring; the temple's own website describes it generically as a center of Krishna devotion under ISKCON.
