Sri Sri Radha Krishna Vennamudda Gopala Krishna Golden Temple — a spiritual heritage revival project near the historic Kondaveedu Fort, Guntur district.
A rare idol of young Krishna, locally known as Venna Mudda Gopaludu, was unearthed during excavations at the historic Kondaveedu Fort in 1998. The deity is believed to have originally been installed nearly 500 years ago by the South Indian Emperor Krishnadevaraya. This discovery inspired ISKCON to build a golden Krishna temple at Kondaveedu, reviving the site's spiritual legacy.
Known as IKSHR, this is one of the largest temple projects in South India, with an estimated outlay of around ₹500 crore. Beyond the temple itself, the project is designed as a complete spiritual and cultural destination for the Guntur region and beyond.
The sanctum sanctorum and temple roof are being crafted with 24 karat gold plating, housing the deities of Sri Sri Radha Vennamudda Gopala Krishna.
A Vedic school and a museum showcasing the history of Kondaveedu Fort will preserve and share the region's spiritual and cultural heritage.
A Gosala and cow protection university have already been established at Kondaveedu, continuing ISKCON's tradition of cow care and sustainable living.
The complex will also include an international school, a medical centre, and a religious theme park for pilgrims and visitors of all ages.
The chance to build your own home, the chance to become very wealthy, the chance to become famous and influential — these come by life after life. But the chance to build a temple for the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna comes once in a million lifetimes. Here is your chance to build a temple for Sri Sri Radha Krishna at ISKCON Kondaveedu, Palnadu District, A.P.
When we give something to Lord Sri Krishna, we never lose. On the other hand, we gain a thousand times more, not only materially, but also spiritually. Be a fortunate soul to take up this rare opportunity.
"Just by starting the construction of a temple for Lord Krishna, sins committed in seven births will be wiped out and one will deliver his forefathers who are suffering in the hellish planets."
"Whoever constructs or helps to construct a Vishnu Temple will protect eight generations of fathers, grandfathers and forefathers from falling into hell."
"అత్యంత వైభవంగా ఇస్కాన్ మందిరాలను నిర్మించండి, వాటికి ఆకర్షితులై ప్రజలు దర్శించడానికి వస్తే భగవద్గీత, భాగవతాలను శాస్త్రీయంగా ప్రచారం చేయండి."
"This temple means to practice how to think of Krishna's lotus feet, Balarama's lotus feet, always. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. Immediately you become a bhakta."
