Krishna Temple Salt Lake City

We went there this year when they had their Festival of Colors. It was really a lovely event, messy, but then that was part of the point. People were so friendly towards each other and everyone was really enjoying the event. The whole aura of the event was filled with kindness and happiness, it was one of those rare moments in which you feel there is still hope for humanity. People were happy to share their colored powders by tossing some at every passerby and getting rewarded by that person returning the gesture, along with kind words or a smile. The children got fully covered in colors faster than all the adults and all the people treated them with sweetness as they ran around underfoot patting and throwing color onto everyone around them. They also had some food vendors from which you could purchase authentic and delicious delights. As well as some vendors selling Indian handbags and jewelry, alongside another vendor offering to do mehndi henna tattoos. I would definitely go again, though perhaps next time, I will also take a mask or bandanna for my face, and maybe a shirt that goes higher up the neck and a hat. If you have light blond hair, the colored powder getting into your hair might end up staining the hair with color and refuse to be washed out even after several washes.

one day when running errands, my mom wanted to check this place out. So we went inside and looked around the gift shop. Its a pretty cool place. if i knew more about the procedure of going into this type of temple, i would have went in to pray right quick. we did speak with a VERY nice caretaker though. We also got to meet the man who was the spiritual caretaker/priest (idk the correct term.) he was very nice as well. Someday, when we know the correct way to go into the temple-- we will go back. It is a very beautiful hidden gem in Millcreek. Great to know it is part of our Millcreek city 😊❤

Beautiful place with amazingly beautiful people. Anytime I'm in the area I make it a point to stop by and check out the gift shop. Depending on who is there they may offer to take you into the temple and offer a blessing. I always leave with the best feeling's. Also, they sale the ground coloured flowers people throw during Holi or "the festival of colours" or the "festival of love" to welcome in spring
