History & tradition
ISKCON Temple Chennai, the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Mandir, is a temple of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition dedicated to Krishna and Radha. ISKCON’s work in the city goes back to the early 1970s: its founder, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, visited Madras in February 1972 and lectured here. A centre opened at Kilpauk in 1975 and moved to T. Nagar in 1988 as the congregation grew. The present temple was formally inaugurated on 26 April 2012.
