Construction of Rs.100 crore HKM temple begins soon.

The Hare Krishna Movement (HKM), Hyderabad, an affiliate of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Bangalore, is set to begin construction of its ambitious Rs.100 crore temple complex and culture centre at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple premises in Banjara Hills from Friday.

The HKM, which runs the 'Bhojanamitra' free food scheme in government hospitals and 'Akshaya Patra' for students in government schools, said they had received the mandatory permission from municipal authorities to take up construction of the temple and cultural centre.

'Friday is 'Akshaya Tritiya' and it will mark beginning of the construction of the temple dedicated to Lakshmi Narasimha in a 4.38-acre land allotted to us by the government,' said HKM Hyderaba-d’s head Gaura Chandra Dasa.
