this temple is going to outshine Taj Mahal !

[RealNapster]

location kuch jham nahe rahe mujhy... it must be in open place.

They should've built it in some eastern arid regions like in Orissa/Odisha or Andhra Pradesh. The pilgrimage can bring some developments (hopefully).

Am I am the only one to notice that this "temple" looks more like a Cathedral ?

There is little or NO Indian element to it and it certainly do not follow any laws of Temple Architecture.

I am going to guess its ISKON "temple" build by Europeans who "discovered Hinduism".

It is an European building. Considering it is being funded by Albert Ford, it is not surprising.

The comparison between centuries years old mausoleum and a modern era temple do not make sense. Taj mahal will always have a place of charm in times to come. new temple is a marvelous efforts too looks beautiful

Subverting Hinduism ...... one step at a time

That is a bit doubtful in the case of ISCKON. Much of their practices are Hindu except the temple building. Earlier they had aversion to even calling themselves as Hindus. That has changed though with the opening of Hindu purses in their cause.

Actually all concept of this one is looks similar to Islamic Architecture
For example if you look Dome of that, it look similar to

But changes in Pattern

A church concept.

Well , ancient Temples also have dome but slightly different, this temple is built by ISKCON sot it have European (which also influenced by middle east Asia's architecture) & Indian fusion.

The real engineering marvel to me is kailasa temple .... Taj Mahal simply overrated ....

 

[danger007]

why not accepting both are beautiful... one with historical and other one is modern marvel... do we need to compare a structure with centuries old architecture and other one under construction....

Because Temples are built according to certain principles and values that are inherent in Hinduism. They serve to propagate Hindu values and not christian values or Islamic values.

The Beauty of the Temple is not the main principle or Purpose.

Do you have a problem with that ?

 

[The_Showstopper]

Temple looks awesome but why compare both, Each have their own appeal...

location kuch jham nahe rahe mujhy... it must be in open place.

Agreed, an open place could have added more beauty.

 

[Kashmiri Pandit]

i admit the visual appeal of the second pic is much more.
what is the name of that temple and where is it?

Mayapur , West Bengal . Temple of Vedic Planitarium .

Umm.. no.

Just the shine of a building or the size of the minarets don't make a archelogical symbol. You guys have to concoct mythological stories to make the site attractable !

It will outshine TAJ , some day into the future , But surely Not Now .

This is another one that has the potential to overshadow the 2 .

Can someone post an original pic of this very temple? Or may b not if its still under construction.
