Help Build a New Altar for Krishna and a Community Hub for Everyone
ISKCON Leicester Renovations 2026
2026 marks a historic triple anniversary for our community. We celebrate 60 years of ISKCON worldwide, 15 years in our current building, and the 10th anniversary of Sri Sri Radha Madhava in Leicester. To honor these milestones, we are transforming our temple into a vibrant spiritual hub for future generations.
Phase 1: Ground Floor and Temple Room
We are renovating the ground floor and temple room to create a more immersive devotional space. This phase includes a handcrafted new altar and a grand hall designed for major festivals and community celebrations.
Phase 2: Café and Basement Kitchen
We are building a welcoming community café and a modern basement kitchen. This upgrade allows us to double our food distribution from 40,000 to 80,000 sanctified meals every year.
Our Vision
This project provides dedicated rooms for education, culture, and community support. Your contribution helps build a spiritual home that serves families, students, and visitors across Leicester for decades to come.
