Iskcon Krishna temple Switzerland

Hindu temples are spread all over the world. Even in far of countries like Switzerland Hinduism is quite rampant and hence we see a lot of temples constructed here. Here we bring to you some of the very famous temples in Switzerland.

• Iskcon Krishna temple Switzerland- In 1980, the young Swiss Krishna conspirators decided to open a temple in Zurich.Through a series of fortunate circumstances, they were able to purchase an older villa at Bergstrasse 54 in Zurich. This central temple offered the Krishna-sanctified place for a larger temple community and also new possibilities to offer lectures and events. This increased the number of members within a few years, and the Krishna Temple on the Bergstrasse in Zurich soon became a city known address.
• Sri Vishnu Thurkkai Amman Temple-The Sri Vishnu Thurkkai Amman Temple is a Hindu temple located in the municipality of Dürnten in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. In the 1990s, an interreligious society was established in the canton of Zürich to support the foundation of a center for the spiritual and cultural care of Tamil people in Switzerland. So, the Sri Sivasubramaniar Temple in Adliswil was founded in 1994 as a non-profit foundation. While some 5,000 Indian Hindus in Switzerland founded their own cultural associations, but not a temple, the Tamil Hindus opened 19 houses of worship since the 1990s.
