Coming back from Mathura to Delhi and trying to get onto the Yamuna Expressway, Pashatuks stumbled upon this magnificent work of modern architecture called Shree Krishna Prem Mandir.
Sceptical at the name, but awed with the work, Pashatuks scepticism turned to admiration when we realised that this temple actually is Indias first light effects temple where there is a colour change every 10 minutes.

The foundation stone of Prem Mandir was laid on January 2001 and the inauguration ceremony took place from 15 February to 17 February 2012. The temple was opened to public on 17 February. The cost was 150 crore rupees ($23 million). The presiding deities are Shri Radha Govind (Radha Krishn) and Shri Sita Ram. A 73,000 square feet, pillar-less, dome shaped satsang hall is being constructed next to Prem Mandir, which will accommodate 25,000 people at a time. Check out the photograph provided by our friend Madhumita Chatterjee who lives in Richmond Virginia, USA
