ISKCON's Siliguri temple, dedicated to Radha and Krishna, is one of the city's best-known landmarks: a large, bright temple hall with kirtan through the day and a vegetarian canteen. It's an easy visit if you arrive early for a train or have an evening in Siliguri.
Visiting
The temple closes in the early afternoon and reopens in the late afternoon. Evening aarti is the liveliest time. Janmashtami and other Vaishnava festivals draw big crowds.
How to reach
Any auto or cab in Siliguri will know it. Pair it with Salugara Monastery on the same side of town.
