This temple has such a calm and peaceful atmosphere, that it releases all my worries and tension, I feel light and I could really feel the inner peace. It's like you're meditating with your eyes open.

The temple itself is perhaps a bit bling. Not to worry. The atmosphere is soooo calm and peaceful. I recommend it for a good thinking and meditation. The food is superb, delicious; true Indian cuisine, vegetarian. The best!

Recommend you book for the guided tour and eat afterwards in the vegetarian restaurant if you like Indian food.

The Hare Krishna Temple in Chatsworth is one of the most visited attractions in Durban. It is said to be the largest Hare Krishna temple in Africa. The temple is situated in a area where almost 100 000 indians live. The TEMPLE also provides more than one thousand meals to the poor and destitute of the city .
