New Mayapur, France

In the French countryside at Luçay-le-Mâle  lies New Mayapur, an ISKCON community founded in 1975. It is particularly significant because it houses the only Krishna-Balarama deities in the Western world installed by Srila Prabhupada himself.

Krishna Valley, Hungary

This farm was founded in 1993 to promote Vaishnava traditions. At its heart is the Radha-Syamsundara temple, where local architecture meets colourful Indian-inspired interiors, complete with ornate pillars, paintings and colourful dioramas.
