ISKCON Tashkent is a currently active International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) center in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. Its own official website and social media accounts (Telegram, Instagram, YouTube) document an ongoing program of Sunday gatherings, kirtan (devotional chanting), Bhagavad-gita study, arati (ritual worship of Krishna), prasada (sanctified food) distribution, and festival celebrations, consistent with a genuinely operating Gaudiya Vaishnava community rather than a purely historical or nominal registration.

Official Uzbek government records, as reflected in English Wikipedia’s “Religion in Uzbekistan” article, list “Krishna Consciousness” as one registered religious organization in the country as of mid-2019 – the same single group referenced in Wikipedia’s “Hinduism in Uzbekistan” article. Uzbekistan’s Hindu population is otherwise very small: the American Religious Data Archive (ARDA) recorded 734 Hindus in the country in 2010, rising to 895 by 2020.

No specific street address, GPS coordinates, or fixed daily darshan schedule for the Tashkent center could be confirmed from the sources available for this research pass; prospective visitors are directed to the center’s own contact channels. Separately, research for this entry also examined whether any historic Hindu temple survives from Uzbekistan’s Silk Road-era Indian trading communities (for example, the medieval Multani merchant presence documented in Bukhara), but found no evidence of a surviving or specifically documented Hindu temple structure from that period – only a general historical reference to Multan merchants owning land in the city, without further detail on any place of worship.

Sources

  • historical record: krishna.uz, the center's own official website (retrieved 2026): identifies itself as 'ISKCON Tashkent', describes regular Sunday programs, kirtan (devotional chanting), Bhagavad-gita lectures, arati (ritual worship), prasada distribution, and festival celebrations; lists social media accounts (Telegram @iskcontashkent, Instagram @iskconuz, YouTube @IskconTashkent) but does not publish a street address or fixed darshan hours on the pages reachable in this pass.
  • historical record: English Wikipedia, 'Religion in Uzbekistan': lists a table of religious organizations registered with the Uzbek government showing 'Krishna Consciousness' with 1 registered group as of June 1, 2019, and separately gives ARDA population estimates of 734 Hindus in Uzbekistan in 2010, rising to 895 by 2020.
  • historical record: English Wikipedia, 'Hinduism in Uzbekistan': states 'Hare Krishna has one group registered in Uzbekistan,' consistent with the single registered organization noted in the 'Religion in Uzbekistan' article; provides no institutional name, address, or founding date.

For review

  • No confirmed street address, coordinates, or fixed darshan/arati timings could be found for this center in the sources checked (its own official website's Contacts page requires direct interaction/JavaScript not accessible to this research pass).
  • The specific form/name of any installed deity murtis is not confirmed by available sources; 'Krishna' is used here as the minimal confirmed description of what the center's own materials describe, rather than a confirmed specific installation.
  • This entry does not address the historic, separate question of a pre-modern Hindu merchant presence (e.g., Multani traders) in Bukhara or Samarkand: research for this pass found only a general reference to a medieval Multan merchant community in Bukhara (English Wikipedia, 'Bukhara'), with no evidence of a surviving or historically attested Hindu temple structure, so no entry was made for that angle.
