ABOUT SRI SRI RADHA GOVIND DEV MANDIR, NOIDA

The uniqueness of this temple is its outstanding design which represents the three dhams.  The first is the front façade of the temple which stunningly depicts the mural of the ancient  Govind Dev Mandir in Vrindavan. The exquisite fresco is set in sandstone.  The second is the Shikhar which exemplifies the Jagannath Temple in Puri and the majestic dome is a replica of Srila Peabhupada's Samadhi temple in Mayapur.

The heavy stone carved work around the temple is an exquisite illustration of Vedic traditional artwork.  The temple hall and altar has been built with pure white Makrana Marble of the highest quality. An expansive auditorium is located in the basement section of the temple.  The impressive Govinda restaurant is situated on the mezzanine floor.  The ground level is dedicated to Samskar Bhavan and Prasadam distribution.  On level one is the dazzling Sri Sri Radha Govind Dev Mandir.  The teaching and learning aspect of this project is housed on level two - this includes the Bhaktivedanta Academy with ultra modern classrooms and impressive facilities, a Vedic Bhaktisiddhanta Library and a seminar hall. The top floor dome is designated for conferencing services.
