Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold
Originally intended in 1972 to be a residence for A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896–1977), the Founder/Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the plans evolved after Prabhupada's death in November 1977 for an ornate palace of marble, gold and carved teak wood, which was dedicated as a memorial shrine on September 2, 1979.
