 we visited the iskcon temple on janmashtmi last year.  It is beautiful , well maintained and very peaceful.

 

ISKCON Temple of Detroit(Devasadan Mandir).

Inspired by the spiritual teachings of Swami Prabhupada, Alfred Brush Ford(great-grandson of Henry Ford) and Elisabeth Reuther Dickmeyer(daughter of United Auto workers President, Walter Reuther) jointly purchased the Fisher Estate in 1975 as the site for the Bhaktivendanta Cultural Center.

The Bhaktivedanta Cultural Center features an exhibit of India’s timeless heritage with a  traditional Vedic Temple . A fine art gallery displays classical and contemporary paintings and art . Situated on 4 acres of formal gardens, adorned with pools, fountains and roving peacocks, the Bhaktivedanta Cultural Center stands as one of Detroit’s most impressive and worthwhile attractions.
