The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) will be celebrating a VIP opening ceremony for its new temple in Potomac, Maryland, which is a suburb of Washington D.C. Earlier this month, the temple was inaugurated on March 22-23.
Around 300 guests are invited, including dignitaries like Aruna Miller, Lieutenant Governor of Maryland; Brooke E. Lierman, the state of Maryland Comptroller; Shridhar Khatri, the ambassador of Nepal; Purmanund Jhugroo, the ambassador of Mauritius; and representatives from the Indian Embassy.
The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the site of the temple, and will feature a ceremonial ribbon cutting, along with a traditional bhajan performance and a vegetarian feast.
