As part of the ISKCON Temple's Cow Protection program, several cows are housed there and given free rein to wander the grounds' lawns.

The temple includes a gaushala where the cows are housed, washed, and cared for.

These cows' milk is given to the Lord and utilized in the temple's cookery.

• Feel mystique with Yuga Dharma:

Under the auspices of the Yuga Dharma program, several events are carried out, including the Harinam Festival, the Chanter's Club, and the Hare Krishna Flash Mob. The program primarily focuses on chanting and other initiatives that further Lord Krishna's morals and teachings.

Matchless Gifts, an independent gift shop run by the temple, offers fragrant incense and other items for worship.

These goods are created using only natural ingredients, and charitable organizations donate any profits.
