it is newly constracted here recently kumbabhishekam was performed. earlier these deities were in T.Nagar.From thiruvanmiyur to mahabalipuram road we whave to go ahead of VGP golden beach,the temple arch welcomes us in right side.  temple is just 1 km from the main road. The stree name is bhakthi vedantha swami  road. (Hare Krishna Temple, Bhaktivedanta Swami Road, Off East Coast Rd  Akkarai, Sholinganallur, Chennai ,Tamilnadu, 600119)To see the god we have to pray. this praying is called bhakthi. there are different path are there, to see the lord. one of the way is to do bhakthi. so it is apt path to see the lord.it shows we have to follow bhakthi to see the lord. we reached the ISKCON temple. it is very big and beautiful. approximately 50 steps we have to climb to see the lord. the white painting. it resembles if we keep our heart as pure as white, the lord will come and sit in our heart.

first we see Nithai & Guar (nithyanantha & krishna chaitanya). adorn with yellow clothes.
second we see in between lalitha and viska krishna and Radha were adorn in pink dresses
third one baladeva, Subhadra and krishna. like Puri jagganatha murthy dressed in blue colour.
