Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir

Climate engineering to promote visitor comfort at the world’s tallest temple

The Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir, located in the area where Hindus believe the deity Krishna spent his youth, will be the tallest temple in the world upon completion. The central tower will reach a height of 689 feet. Temple designers faced two notable challenges. First, as tall as a 70-storey building, it must be designed to withstand both wind and seismic activity. Second, with daily temperatures that can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, the project team turned to RWDI for specialized climate engineering expertise to help them design for the safety and comfort of visitors both inside the temple and on its large terrace and grounds.
