Temple of Understanding

S 29 54.557 E 30 52.962

Temple of Understanding is said to be the largest Hare Krishna temple in all of Africa. The temple was built in 1969 in the shape of a lotus and is ornamented with ornate statues and gold-tinted windows. The tranquil music from a solitary musician and the steady flow of followers make for an unforgettable experience worth sitting down and soaking in. If you are hungry, head downstairs for some vegetarian cuisine at their cafeteria-style restaurant.
