ISKCON Sri Radha Shyamachandra Mandir

A Spiritual Home for Devotion, Knowledge & Service. Serving Raichur With the Timeless Wisdom of the Vedas

ISKCON Sri Radha Shyamachandra Mandir, Raichur is a vibrant spiritual center dedicated to sharing the eternal teachings of the Vedas, Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and the sublime message of Lord Sri Krishna and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Rooted in the pure bhakti tradition of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), our mission is to make the science of devotion relevant, accessible, and transformative for everyone—students, professionals, families, and seekers.
