Shri Radhakrishna Temple (JK Temple)

About Shri Radhakrishna Temple (JK Temple), Kanpur

Neo-Hindu marble shrine dedicated to Radha-Krishna

• Shri Radhakrishna Temple stands along Govind Nagar Road in south-central Kanpur.
• Built in 1953 by the industrialist Singhania family under the JK Trust, the structure blends northern and central Indian temple architectural styles across five distinct spires.
• The tallest central dome houses deities of Radha and Krishna, while companion shrines honour Lakshminarayan, Ardhanarishvara, Narmadeshwar, and Hanuman.
• Constructed from carved white marble and sandstone, the building sits amid terraced grass lawns and shallow fountain pools that draw local crowds during evening aarti.
• High arched entryways keep the interior hall breezy through warm afternoons.
• Visiting between October and March avoids the pre-monsoon heat, with festivals like Janmashtami drawing large congregations.
• Entry is free.
• Visiting hours run from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM daily.
