The ISKON temple is a unique combination of glass and gopuram, blending modern and traditional elements.The gopurams were made with special technology using Ferro cement. It was for the first time that this technology was being used for temples.
The 36 feet high and 18 feet base, intricately designed and gold plated kalasham was placed on top of the temple, about 150 feet high, by a chain pulley. This was a great engineering feat considering the risk of lifting the gold plated kalasham, weighing 1.5 tonnes, over a glass canopy to a height of 150 feet.
