I am not a deeply religious person, and temples are not in my most visited places, but ever since I heard
about the ISKCON temple in Moundsville, West Virginia, I wanted to visit it, for reasons like its absolutely
beautiful location, the fact that the township is called "New Vrindavan" (yes, there is a township in USA
called Vrindavan!) and I am a fan of the entire ISKCON movement. Their energy, belief and enthusiasm is
incredible.  They say their prayers take them away to some other world, far beyond this materialistic one!
It doesn't matter whether you belong to the Hindu religion or not, if you are a Krishna devotee or not,
visiting an ISKCON temple is always a joyous experience.

The Palace of Gold is a photogenic building and a more peaceful one than the temple as well,
as the actual temple is always bustling with chants, slogans and prayers by the devotees.
The interesting fact is that this palace is built in a way where everywhere one looks, it oversees
lush green mountains of West Virginia.
