More than 40,000 visitors tour the Temple per year. These include college students, families, home schools, seniors, community service groups, primary and secondary schools, festival goers, the curious, interested, and casual passersby. Tour guides are available from 10am to 7pm daily. This gracious home to Lord Krishna features a 50' temple dome, 108 spires, marble statues of the deities, carved teak altar, paintings depicting Sri Krishna's many pastimes, ornate details at every turn, and majestic 360 degree views of the Wasatch Mountains. The history and beliefs of Krishna Consciousness are covered and questions can be answered. For a taste, take the Virtual Tour below.
The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple is a very unique house of God, even amongst the almost 400 temples of Krishna Consciousness throughout the world. Modeled after the famous Kusum Sarovar Temple in Mathura, India, it is the only Rajasthani-style building in the US.
For those who wish, caranamrita and prasadam are offered from the main puja and all may stay to participate in a brief session of kirtan in the temple room at the conclusion of the tour.
Afterwards, you are invited to stay for Govinda's Buffet (all vegetarian), browse the exotic gift store, and tour the grounds with its 42 llamas, 3 zebus (miniature Brahman cows), 5 parrots, 4 peacocks , 1 turkey (?) and over 200 koi (huge goldfish) in Shiva's Koi Pond. Buffet and gift store are also open 10am to 7pm daily.
And, don't forget -- make plans now to return after your tour for our main program, the Sunday Love Feast, every Sunday at 5pm. Join our community celebration as we sing the holy names of Krishna, dance, hear a talk of His wisdom -- and then stay for a Feast of blessed food!
