ISKCON Detroit Devasadan Mandir, also known as the Temple of the Gods, is a historic art-deco mansion located in the urban neighborhood on the East Side of Detroit, Michigan. The temple, opened in the summer of 1983, is home to several presiding deities including Sri-Sri Radha-Kunja-Bihari, Sri-Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri-Sri Jagannath-Baladeva-Subhadra, Sri Nathji, and Sri Bala Gopala. The temple, which was purchased by Ambarish Dasa and Lekhashravanti Dasi, offers residential ashrams and rentable accommodations for its congregation.
The mansion, originally built in the early 1920s by Lawrence P. Fisher, a prominent figure in the auto industry, is a 22,000 square-foot Mediterranean-style villa situated on four acres of gardens. Despite initial concerns about the neighborhood, Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, believed that the presence of devotees would bring positive change, and over the years, the area has experienced a renaissance. With a congregation of 300 to 400 people and 200 to 300 visitors attending the Sunday Feast every week, ISKCON Detroit Devasadan Mandir is a vibrant spiritual center in the heart of Detroit.
