In 1975, Srila Prabhupada instructed Gour Govinda Swami to build a temple in Bhubaneswar. It is the 108^th and last temple project of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada which was completed and inaugurated in 1991 on Lord Nityananda Prabhu’s holy appearance day after seventeen years of preparation and construction. As instructed by Srila Prabhupada, Gour Govinda Swami installed Sri Gaur Nitai, Krishna Balaram and Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadra Devi on three altars and named the temple Sri Krishna Balaram Temple. It also has Gour Govinda Maharaja’s Samadhi Mandir and Srila Prabhupada’s Bhajan Kutir. At the back of the temple, there is a brahmachari ashram which can house 150 brahmacharis. The ashram complex includes four rooms for sanyasis, a conference hall for 150 devotees, a library, prasadam hall for 300 and an office. The temple has fifteen acres of farmland which is used for growing vegetables.
