Inaugurated on 5 April 1998 by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, ISKCON Delhi’s Sri Radha Parthasarathi Mandir — designed pro-bono by architect Achyut Kanvinde from 1993 — anchors the Glory of India Vedic Cultural Centre, one of the largest temple-cum-cultural complexes in India, including a 375-seat auditorium and multimedia exhibits on the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, and Ramayana. In 2019 the complex unveiled an 800 kg, over-2.8-meter printed edition of the Bhagavad Gita, described as the largest printed sacred text of any major religion.
