Built by ISKCON Bangalore, the temple aims to promote Vedic culture and the teachings of Lord Krishna. It also intends to support educational and spiritual initiatives for the community

The complex will include a Krishna heritage museum, immersive sound-and-light shows, and multiple multi-sensory exhibitions that showcase the life of Lord Krishna

The entire project spans over 62 acres, with ample green spaces, gardens, and water bodies, including a recreation of the forests of Vrindavan, said to resemble the landscape where Krishna played
