ISKCON Temple, Chandigarh
Chandigarh, Chandigarh · Radha-Krishna (ISKCON) · Krishna Circuit
Hare Krishna temple in Sector 36-B, named with its entrance peepal in Chandigarh tourism’s Heritage Trees report.
The ISKCON temple in Sector 36-B is one of the Hindu shrines the Chandigarh tourism department names directly in its Heritage Trees of Chandigarh report, which documents a maintained peepal at the main entrance shading devotees. As a Hare Krishna centre in the planned city, it serves the same congregational kirtan and darshan rhythm familiar at other ISKCON campuses, scaled to Chandigarh’s sector grid.
History
The UT tourism Heritage Trees PDF (item 27) records the peepal tree adjoining the main entrance of the ISKCON Temple in Sector 36-B, confirming the shrine’s mapped place in official city documentation.
Chandigarh’s sector planning absorbed former village lands; the temple and its entrance tree illustrate how active devotional institutions were embedded within new residential belts.
