The ISKCON Juhu Temple (formally Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari Temple) is the largest Hare Krishna temple in Asia — a marble and gold complex inaugurated in 1978 under the guidance of ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada, with a towering shikhara (spire) visible across Juhu and an interior decorated with mirror-work, murals from the life of Krishna, and the three altar deities (Radha-Rasabihari, Sita-Rama-Laxman-Hanuman, and Gaura-Nitai) who are the focus of daily worship.
The temple hosts aartis (worship ceremonies) throughout the day accompanied by kirtan (devotional chanting) that draws both Hare Krishna devotees and curious visitors. The Govinda's vegetarian restaurant on the premises serves one of Mumbai's best pure-vegetarian thalis, and the gardens, bookshop, and guest house make ISKCON Juhu a self-contained spiritual campus in the middle of one of Mumbai's most secular suburbs.
