There’s no cost to visit the ISKCON Temple Delhi, but it’s certainly possible to spend money during your visit. You may want to leave donations for specific purposes through the temple’s organized programs, such as feeding or providing healthcare to the sadhus (holy men/monks). There’s also an on-site bookshop where you can buy books on the ISKCON movement, as well as a vegetarian restaurant.

Yes, the ISKCON Temple Delhi is worth visiting if you're interested in Hinduism, Indian spirituality, or the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) movement in general. The temple was built in the 1990s so it's not very old, but it does follow some traditional design elements. You can also get a good vegetarian meal here, as you can at many Hare Krishna–run outlets around the world. Visit independently, or on a guided tour of top Delhi attractions.

Per one customer who booked New Delhi Sightseeing With Tour Guide—Custom Hours, Itinerary, "Loved this tour! I wanted to see so many places in Delhi but didn't want to spend 1-2+ hours at each location doing a full tour. This was fully customizable so I could tour the places I wanted to and then just pass by others I didn't want to fully tour. My guide knew so much about everything we saw and the driver was amazing as well! I had a great day - also as a solo female traveler I felt safe for the entire experience!"
