Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir, currently under construction, is set to become the world’s tallest religious skyscraper upon its completion.

Located in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India, the Hindu temple will have a footprint of around 5 acres and reach a height of 213 m (700 ft). It is being built by ISKCON Bangalore to a cost of 300 crore (US$45 million), making it one of the most expensive temples ever built.

Designed by Indian practice InGenious Studio, the rocket ship-like tiered building aims to combine traditional Nagara architecture with the sleek elegance of modernist designs.

The two distinct features of Nagara temple architecture are as follows:

* In plan, the temple is a square with the middle of each side having a number of graduated projections resulting in a cruciform shape.
* In elevation, a Shikhara (tower), gradually inclines inwards in a convex curve. There is strong emphasis on vertical lines in elevation.

Much more than just a temple, the structure will include a theme park, drawing inspiration from Vedic literature. A capsule elevator will take visitors through an immersive ‘light and sound experience’ up to a viewing deck.

The temple is intended to commemorate the Hindu deity Lord Sri Krishna, who is said to have grown up in Vrindavan. Surrounding the temple, a sprawling 26 acres of forest will be cultivated to emulate the descriptions given by Krishna of the 12 forests of Braj.

The project is expected to be funded by donations from devotees, as well as by the sale of apartments and villas that will be built in the vicinity of the temple complex.

The foundation stone was laid in November 2014, and the project is scheduled for completion in 2019.
