ISKCON Kanpur’s Sri Sri Radha Madhava Temple stands on Bithoor Road (Mainavati Marg), near the historic riverside town of Bithoor — traditionally associated with the Ramayana and with sage Valmiki’s ashram — on the outskirts of Kanpur. Wikipedia’s article on Bithoor confirms the temple as part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness founded by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Alongside its daily round of six arati ceremonies from 4:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., the temple runs a Food for Life program distributing more than 50,000 meals a month, a gurukul supporting over 200 children, and a goshala caring for more than 100 cows.
