The official name is Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple and is located south of Salt Lake City and was built in 1998. The temple supports the local Hindu community and hosts a massive Holi festival (Festival of Colors) attracting thousands each year.
Krishna Cave Temple (also known as Mandapa of Krishna and Krishna Mandapam) is a monument at Mahabalipuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in the Kancheepuram district of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is an artificial rock-cut mandapa, and one of the Cave Temples of Mahabalipuram dedicated to Lord Krishna. Part of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1984. It is one of the many architecturally distinctive mandapas in Mahabalipuram with a shallow cave portico hewn into the rock face. Dating to the mid-seventh century, its excavated entry is seen with columns leading to a hall. Notable carvings inside are sculpted panels that bring out the myth of Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill to protect the cowherds and gopis (milk maids) from heavy rains and floods – the "most poetic and endearing" Indian or Angkor sculpture-based representation of this legend – and there are also scenes of Krishna frolicking with the milk maids.
In Hindu art, Krishna is depicted as a shepherd boy playing the flute in the company of his beloved shepherdess Radha and other gopis.
Please excuse the quality: the photo was taken through a cell of a solid mesh that covers the altar like a theater curtain.

Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण, Kṛṣṇa in IAST, pronounced [ˈkr̩ʂɳə] is considered the supreme deity, worshiped across many traditions of Hinduism in a variety of different perspectives. Krishna is recognized as the eighth incarnation (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, and one and the same as Lord Vishnu one of the trimurti and as the supreme god in his own right. Krishna is the principal protagonist with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita also known as the Song of God, which depicts the conversation between the Royal Prince Arjuna and Krishna during the great battle of Kurukshetra 5000 years ago where Arjuna discovers that Krishna is God and then comprehends his nature and will for him and for mankind.

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who is worshipped by followers as Guru and spiritual master.[2] Its core beliefs are based on select traditional Hindu scriptures, particularly the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad
Krishna (कृष्ण in Devanagari) is according to common Hindu tradition the eighth avatar of Vishnu. In Gaudiya Vaishnavism, he is seen as the Supreme Person (God) and thus the origin of all other incarnations.
Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across the spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. Though they sometimes differ in details or even contradict each other reflecting the concerns of a particular tradition, some core features are shared by all. These include a divine incarnation, a pastoral childhood and youth and life as a heroic warrior and teacher. The immense popularity of Krishna in India also meant that various non-Hindu religions that originated in India had their own versions of him.

Our 12375 Chennai Central-Asansol Express arrived at Krishna Canal Junction (KCC) before time, and waited for at least two hours here letting one train after another overtake us. We could finally arrive Vijayawada around an hour late.
But the wonderful atmosphere at KCC allowed me the chance to take some mesmerising photographs like this one here.
