Temple Entrance – $1,000,000 (Rs5 Crores)

The breathtaking Temple Entrance will provide visitors with a glimpse of the beauty that lies within. This is because the entrance will be made of green, transparent glass, twelve millimeters thick, that acts as a window to the Spiritual World. Additional embellishments precede the tinted glass. Each side of the entryway will be comprised of two doors, each thirteen feet high, eight feet wide and four inches thick, plated with silver and inscribed with Vedic designs. Above each door will be a lantern, and between the two sets of doors will be an entrance wall made of three glass sections decorated with the Bhaktisiddhanta Yantra.

Looking up as you enter the Main Temple Hall, you'll see a scale model of the Universe, as described in the Vedas, suspended from the central dome. It is twenty stories tall and one hundred feet wide, and its stars and planets – according to the actual astrological movement—rotate majestically above everything.

The model will depict fifteen different levels, beginning at the bottom with Garbhodakashayi Vishnu lying on Ananta Shesha and proceeding upwards through the lower planetary systems, the earthly realm and then the higher heavenly planets. It will show the coverings of the universe and above that, the abodes that exist beyond this universe. These begin with Shivaloka, and progress through the Causal Ocean with Karanodakashayi Vishnu, to the brahmajyoti, to the Vaikunthalokas with the various Vishnu-murtis and finally Goloka Vrindavana – the summit of the entire cosmic manifestation.

The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium will feature a state of the art, seventy five-foot domed Planetarium Theatre, the largest of its kind in India. It is angled for maximum viewing comfort, and can hold nearly three hundred guests for fascinating astronomical tours. These tours, incorporating the latest digital technology, will be based on ancient Puranic and Vedic texts.

The pilgrims can proceed from the Planetarium to the adjoining Vedic Science Center, spread over three levels, featuring permanent displays on the following topics:

• Vedic Cosmography
• Intelligent Design
• Life Comes from Life
• Puranic Cyclical Time

• Forbidden Archaeology
• Human Devolution
• Varnashrama Social Organization

The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium is coming up due to the devotional efforts of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. His murti will sit at the Temple entrance facing the beautiful Panca-tattva Deities, seated on a carved, wooden, gold-plated vyasasana with lions on each of its four corners, supported by four carved elephants and accessible by its own series of steps. Six columns will hold the top shringasana, an artistic masterpiece made of marble, metal, plaster and wood with in-laid marble designs.

The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium will be adorned with exceptional art and craftsmanship, incorporating work from an international assembly of master artists and craftsmen. Mosaics, paintings, and gold leafing will decorate the Temple. Beautiful paintings depicting the pastimes of the Lord will adorn the Temple walls. Four of the chatris will have huge mosaic paintings, such as a mosaic of Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya. Gold leafing, a gilding technique for enhancing art, will be used for the altars and interior Temple decorations to create a majestic and opulent effect.

Fabergé, an art form that took its name from a French jeweler describes an opulent artistic effect that will be used in the Temple, especially on the domes. Beautifully decorated peacock designs will adorn the railings and other structures in the temple.

These splendid marble-clad columns will protect and support the entrance to the Main Temple Hall. The columns, designed as palm trees with additional beautiful embellishments, precede the green tinted glass that acts as a window to the Spiritual World.

The grand Temple entrance will feature marble hand railings shaped like elephants in procession. Beautiful plants in huge marble pots will adorn the marble stairs, welcoming pilgrims on the final steps of their journey to the Main Temple Hall.

Suspended from the Temple dome is a custom chandelier of one thousand and eight lights, which adds to the many crystal-glass chandeliers in illuminating the gorgeous Temple of Lord Nrsimhadeva.
