ISKCON Salem’s July 2026 video shows carved stonework at its temple construction site

A 90-second film from ISKCON Salem offers a close view of carved stonework and ongoing work at the Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda temple project in Tamil Nadu.

SALEM, India — ISKCON Salem published a short construction video on July 2, 2026, showing ornamental stonework at its temple site. Titled “Temple construction update – July 2026,” the film runs for one minute and 30 seconds and was uploaded to the temple’s YouTube channel.[1]

Stonework on camera

The camera moves from gold-coloured components laid out at ground level to pale stone towers and smaller fluted domes. Scaffolding remains visible around the structure. Another sequence looks up at a circular, carved ceiling medallion, with temporary wooden supports crossing the view.

These close views show details of the project’s architectural work. The footage documents the site in July 2026; it does not establish the temple’s present completion status or announce an opening date.

A continuing temple project

ISKCON’s centres directory identifies the Salem centre as Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda Temple in Karuppur, Salem, Tamil Nadu, and links to the temple’s official website.[2] Akincana previously carried an April 2025 construction video from ISKCON Salem, providing an earlier view of the same developing project.[3]
