Mayapur a very holy and sacred place is located on the banks of the Ganges River. It is at the point of the confluence of Ganga with the Jalangi. Mayapur is a religious centre and one of the nine dhams of the 9 holy islands. The 9 islands together look like an eight-petaled lotus flower and are called Navadwipa which was earlier capital of Bengal.

Mayapur is famous for Chandrodaya Temple (first temple established by ISKCON in Mayapur), Samadhi of Prabhupada (temple dedicated to the founder of ISKCON), Shree Chaitanya math (the birth place of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu), Goswami Maharaj Temple of Dashavatar and Chand Kazi’s Samadhi. Krishna Devotees consider this place as pious as Mathura or Vrindavana.

Shri Chaitanya Math 

Mayapur holds a special place in the heart of the Gaudiya Vaishnaviites as it is the birthplace of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, regarded as a special incarnation of Krishna in the mood of Radha. It is visited by over a million pilgrims annually.

One can still see the neem tree, under which he is supposed to have been born. There is also a hut inside where Mahaprabhu grew up as a boy. The hut displays his life with the help of clay models.

There are also Deities of Mahaprabhu as a child along with His parents, Saci-devi and Jagannatha Misra. While digging the foundation for this temple, a deity of Adhoksaja Visnu was unearthed, believed to be the household Deity of Jagannatha Misra. The Yogapitha temple also houses the Deities of Sri Sri Laksmi-Narsimha and Sri Sri Gaura-Gadadhara.

ISCKON Temple 

The beautiful ISCKON Temple also known as Sri Chaitanya Candrodaya Temple attracts thousands of devotees and tourists from different parts of India and world. This is the first temple to be established by ISKON in Mayapur.

Samidhi Of Prabhu Pada 

After Srila Prabhupada’s death ISKCON decided to construct a temple as a tribute to its founder. The temple, the third one in the Chandrodaya complex, was opened to the devotees on February 1995. This samadhi mandir is just takes 2 minutes from the Chandrodaya temple. The temple houses a golden statue of Prabhupada in the centre.
