Introduction and History in Brief
Between Rawalpindi Railway Station and Kabari Bazaar in Saddar, an old building standing beside a sacred fig (peepal) tree serves as the only place of worship for Hindus in the twin cities.
Even though there are many temples in the garrison city, Krishna Temple is the only functional one for Rawalpindi and Islamabad residents while the rest are closed and their surrounding premises leased for other purposes.
The temple was built in 1897 by Kanji Mal and Ujagar Mal Ram Rachpal to serve as a street temple for people from its surrounding areas. After partition, the temple became the main place of worship for Rawalpindi Hindus who chose to remain in Pakistan.
Krishna Temple was closed from 1947 to 1948 to avoid religious violence, but in 1949 the local Hindu panchayat asked the Rawalpindi commissioner to open the temple for prayer. It was operated by the local Hindu community until the government handed it over to the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) in 1970.
The temple is spread over less than five marlas of land. Although it is large enough to accommodate worshippers for daily puja, the lack of space is felt during festivals and other religious occasions.
The building consists of a main room that holdsidols as well as a courtyard and veranda to accommodate worshippers.
