Gujarat is one of the most prosperous states in India. It is also one of the most pious. Our Krsna consciousness movement has spread very successfully in Gujarat through the years. The photos in this album are mainly of the famous Ranchor temple in Dakor and the 12th century Galteswara Siva temple in Galteswara.
Tours
Festival Tour in GujaratWe just concluded two days of meetings with ISKCON leaders in Gujarat.
