Habibpur Iskcon Temple is a beautiful place for the devotee who wants to visit Iskcon near Ranaghat, WB. The place is calm and spiritual.

When we talk about Iskcon, the first thing that knocks on our mind-door is A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He is the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness 1966, short for Iskcon.

Habibpur Iskcon Temple was established in 1996. Habibpur Iskcon Temple is over 8 acres with many features. From 1996 to the present time, many things already changed but Iskcon is still alive and this is better than before. Because God lives here.

Short description of Habibpur village

Habibpur is a village in the Ranaghat-i block of Nadia district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It belongs to the Presidential Department.

It is located 30 km south of the district headquarters in Krishnanagar, Nadia. Habibpur village is 4km far from Ranaghat-i block and 79km far from Kolkata.

Let’s explore Habibpur Iskcon Temple

Most travelers from cities will find this place very nice since there are greeneries and lots of open areas for one to hang out. The main temple is near the road just 300m far from NH 12.

In this peaceful temple, the deities are very beautiful. Not only inside but you can also see the outside structure and that is awesome and eye-catchy.

On NH 12 there is an ongoing process of over-bridge. After finished of that over-bridge work, everyone has a paradisal look at that bridge.

The local road is attached to NH 12 and everyone takes this road to reach Habibpur Iskcon Temple and this is a very small walk (300m).

Also, there is a facility for overnight staying in the guest house which is inside the campus. Only Satvik veg food items are allowed here.
