Krishna Temple050

The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple seems a bit out of place in such a predominantly LDS region, but it has a fascinating history, which is closely tied to the LDS church. The building itself is an amazing structure, and the surrounding grounds are park-like, with wandering peacocks, lily and koi ponds, a large stage for entertainment, and the largest herd of trained llamas in central Utah.

The public is welcome to tour the temple and its grounds daily from 10am to 7pm. Tour guides are available. While there is no set fee for temple tours, donations are always appreciated. The temple's gift store is stocked with apparel, CDs, brass ware, wooden carved screens, swings, dining sets, books, and sofa sets.

A large vegetarian buffet is offered during tour hours. All are invited to take part in the feast of both Indian style and western hot entrees, sweets, and snacks. Donations are accepted for the buffet.

Group tours are welcome. Many school groups, senior centers, summer camp organizations, and scout groups tour the facilities each year. Call or email to book a group visit.

Besides tours, everyone is also invited to attend regular Sunday services, which take place each Sunday at 5pm. Besides the service, the evening also includes dance, music, philosophy, storytelling, and a vegetarian feast.

Several festivals are hosted at the Krishna Temple each year. The Llama Fest in July and the India Fest in September are two that are especially fun for families. It's a great way to see and learn about Indian culture and customs, and have a lot of fun too.
