Hare Krishna Mandir started its journey in 2008, with a modest beginning from a rented bungalow in the Thaltej locality of Ahmedabad. It was established to spread the sublime message of Krishna consciousness among the people of Ahmedabad by spreading the glories of Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, distribution of Srila Prabhupada's books & free distribution of food (prasadam). Today it stands as a brilliantly shining icon of spirituality, devotion, and culture.
