Un peu d'histoire
The temple was established by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in the late 20th century. It is built around a self-manifested (swayambhu) idol of Lakshmi Narasimha, which was discovered during construction. The golden vimana (tower) was added later, making it a landmark.
