Beautiful ISKON Temple for Home

ISKCON, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, has many temples throughout the United States. If you're interested in setting up an ISKCON temple in your home, there are several things to consider:

• Deities: The central focus of the temple is usually a statue or painting of Lord Krishna and Radha, along with other deities such as Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Devi Maa, Lord Vishnu, or the goddess Durga.

• Altar: The altar is a flat surface, typically made of wood, where offerings and puja items are placed.

• Incense: Incense is used to purify the air and create a fragrant atmosphere for puja.

• Bell: A bell is rung to announce the start of the puja ceremony.

• Water pot: A water pot is used to perform abhishekam, a ritual where the deity is bathed with holy water.

• Spoon and plate: A spoon and plate are used to offer food and sweets to the deity.

• Flowers: Fresh flowers are often offered to the deity as a symbol of devotion.

• Lamp or candle: A lamp or candle is lit to symbolize the presence of the divine.

• Hindu scriptures: Hindu scriptures, such as the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, are often placed in the temple for study and inspiration.
