Kolkata ISKCON Temple is situated in the Centre of Kolkata city, near to the busy business districts. It is a double storey building, with the altar situated at the upper floor, together with a small gift shop and the statue of Prabhupata. Ground floor has a kitchen where some sweets were on sale and some renovation work was going on during my visit. All the photos you’re seeing here are of the second floor.
I was there around 1.30pm Indian time (4.00pm Malaysian time) when the ‘pooja’ was taking place. A number of devotees were there to attend the prayers. Prasadham was not available during afternoon prayers but some ‘teertham’ was readily available for the devotees.
Since it is summer in India now, Balram & Subathira statues were covered with sandal to reduce the heat and the sandal will be removed at night. Was also informed that Mayapur is about 2 hours away & prearranged tours are available at reasonable cost.
