PARSIPPANY — The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) had a groundbreaking ceremony for its new temple today at 180 Troy Road, at the corner of Troy and Baldwin Road.
Hundreds of people participated in the event.
This will be the first ISKCON temple in the Northeast that will be built in a traditional, Vedic architectural style and will feature elements such as shikhars (domes) and jharokhas (decorative windows) among others.
ISKCON is also celebrating its golden jubilee, 50 years since its inception in 1966 by Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, when he brought Lord Krishna’s teachings to America.
