The International Society for Krishna Consciousness opened the Hare Krishna Temple in Maryland in 1975. The temple houses the first Krishna deity in the US called Madanmohan. The temple is located on the banks of a creek, allowing visitors to connect with their spiritual side in the presence of nature. The 12-acre campus is home to a cultural center and a farm, where cattle is reared and vegetables are grown. The temple welcomes visitors throughout the year, irrespective of the religion they practice.
The temple celebrates Janmastami, the birth of Krishna with great fanfare. Occurring during fall, visitors are treated to special pujas and carnival like festivities, with traditional Indian games and rides being the center of attraction.
