THE BACKGROUND:

A new temple is being built at Hubli -Dharwad. Strategically located on a hillock alongside the Bengaluru to Pune national highway this is called the Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Cultural Complex, Hubli-Dharwad. This will also have a Sri Srinivasa Govinda temple and multiple other facilities and amenities.
