Mayapur

A Bengali village of seven thousand that takes in a million pilgrims a year: the birthplace of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the world headquarters of ISKCON. Days run on temple time (morning aarti, prasadam halls, a ferry across the Ganga to Nabadwip) under the rising dome of the Vedic Planetarium.
