Top 5 ISKCON Temples in Pune to Visit with Family
If you have spent any time exploring Pune's spiritual side, you will notice ISKCON has a pretty strong footprint here. There are several temples scattered around the city, and if you are planning a family visit, it helps to know which ones are actually worth your time. Here are five that stand out.
1. ISKCON NVCC Temple, Kondhwa
When people say "ISKCON Pune," this is usually what they mean. Spread over 6 acres and dedicated to Radha Vrindavanchandra. It is the largest ISKCON temple in the city. The complex actually has two temples; one is a Radha Krishna shrine in North Indian style, and right beside it is a Venkateswara (Balaji) temple in South Indian style. If you only visit one, make it this one.
Address: Iskcon Nvcc Road, Katraj-Kondwa Bypass, Tilekar Nagar, Kondhwa Budruk, Pune, Maharashtra 411048
2. ISKCON Pune Camp, Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari Temple
The original ISKCON temple in Pune, tucked into the Camp area. It is smaller and quieter than NVCC, which gives it a warmer, more personal feel and is great if you are visiting with kids or elderly family members.
Address: 4 Tarapore Road, Next to Dastur Boys School, Pune, Maharashtra 411001
3. ISKCON Temple, Hinjewadi
It is mostly serving the IT crowd that is moved into this part of Pune. It is not huge, but it is clean, well looked after, and convenient if you happen to be staying anywhere near Hinjewadi or Wakad.
Address: G-1801, Sangria, Megapolis Hinjewadi Ph 3, Hinjewadi, Pune 411057
4. ISKCON Temple, Ravet
This one caters to families around Ravet, Wakad, and Pimpri Chinchwad. It has got a nice community feel to it with regular kirtans, festival celebrations, and that sort of thing.
Address: Iskcon Temple Road, Ravet, Pune
5. ISKCON Temple, Pimple Nilakh
If you are not a fan of crowds, this is probably your pick. It is quieter, smaller, and gives you room to just sit and take in the atmosphere without rushing.
Address: Gulmohar Park Road, Pimple Nilakh, Pune
Since these temples are not exactly next to each other, driving between all five in one day can get a bit much. If you are planning this as a proper family or group outing, it is worth looking into a 45-seater bus hire in Pune, as everyone can travel together, nobody worries about parking, and you can just focus on the visit itself.
