Temple of the Vedic Planetarium

The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium is a modern Hindu temple and planetarium complex under construction since 2009 in Mayapur, West Bengal, India. Serving as the global headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the temple is of particular significance to followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a tradition associated with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The complex includes the Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir, one of the main temples within the premises, which is dedicated to the worship of the Pancha Tattva deities, Radha Madhava along with the Ashta-sakhis, and Narasimha. Upon completion, it will be the largest religious monument in the world, with its opening scheduled for 2026. The project chair is Alfred Brush Ford, also known as Ambarish Das, a great-grandson of Henry Ford and an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada.
