ISKCON DumDum
ISKCON DumDum is a spiritual center serving the divine mission of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Srila Prabhupada desired that Kolkata—his birthplace—should have at least ten temples to help people reconnect with Krishna through the teachings of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
In 2013, by the grace of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava and the blessings of Srila Prabhupada, a sincere well-wisher, Sri Sankar Lal Chakraborty, gifted his property to ISKCON. With this generous offering, the seed of ISKCON DumDum was planted. The center officially began functioning on 24 January 2014 and was recognised as an independent ISKCON project in 2020.
Located in the peaceful locality of Motijheel, Dum Dum—just 3.8 km from Kolkata Airport and 3.6 km from Dum Dum Metro Station—the temple serves as a welcoming spiritual gateway for travelers, families, youth, and seekers who wish to deepen their understanding of Krishna consciousness.
