One of the best place for all Radha Krishna devotees

Since I was settled to Margao from Contai. I missed this place a lot. So, this time when I came back after a long time I had decided to explore my state. On 4th July (on the date of Rath Yatra) we were in Kolkata. I had seen Isckon Rath Yatra, and it was amazing. All the people (starting from celebrities to foreigners along with the local fellow) have participated in it. And then we thought we should have visit Isckon (Mayapur) at-least once. As it is one of the biggest centre for Isckon. So, we have booked everything from here, specially the service of Quick-O-City was awesome.
