You have to visit Conch Bhavan to complete the check-in formalities like documentation of your gov id proof, pilgrims forms & to collect the respective guest house key.

I went inside the main temple where Radha Krishna sculpture was present, I noticed many foreigners were doing the puja in Hindu ritual &even if they dressed up like Indian peoples. I completed my puja, spent some time to re-energised my mind &went outside the CHANDRODAYA MANDIR to explore some more places.

I didn’t get a chance to click the pics because mobile phones, cameras or any other photographic devices were not allowed inside the SRI MAYAPUR CHANDRODAYA MANDIR, before entering to the temple you have to submit all the things to the counters.

Nothing is charged by the temple for submitting mobile phones, cameras or any other photographic devices & shoes.

Inside the campus e rickshaw were also available with very less price 5 to 10/INR.

Temple timings:-

Mayapur Fulldome Theatre:- I had never visited any fulldome theratre& this was my first amazing experience.

I had paid 40/INR for 30mins show & I watched a complete history of Mayapur, why it is so famous, history of the gurus ,&idea about the speed of light.

I met a family in the theatre who came from the USA especially, to do meditation, & to learn Indian ritual's. I noticed, kids were super excited to know the culture& ritual of India.

Small shops & food courts:- Inside the campus, many shops were present for jewellery items, ghee , books , handicraft items etc.

I visited gowsala, If you visit Mayapur I suggest buy ghee from inside shops quality was good.

Samadhi Mandir of Srila Prabhupada:- Inside the Samadhi Mandir mobile phones, cameras or any other photographic devices were not allowed before entering the temple I had to submit all the things to the counters. The complex includes a grand main shrine surrounded by a museum & depicting the life of&Srila Prabhupada.

I didn’t get a chance to visit a museum because I don’t had much time so, I quickly reached Chandrodaya Mandir for Aarti & once Aarti started everyone was dancing, chanting the sound Radhe Krishna, the environment was full of positive vibes.

A great experience is not always come to visit hills, beach &some trick places, sometimes holy places give us a sense of inner peace.

I was very tired, I finished my dinner &went for sleep because I had left the next day by 10 to catch my train from Krishnagar city Junction station to Sealdah station.

Sri Krishna Janmashtami is a celebration is one of the crowdest celebrations is Mayapur ISKCON.

I woke up the next day & had some breakfast & reached Krishnagar city junction on time.
