Utah-Krishna Temple

A couple who moved from Los Angeles to Utah about 45 years ago to run a radio station are now operating the only Hindu temple in a predominantly Mormon town. The 10,000-square-foot temple in a rural part of Utah called Spanish Fork sits on a 15-acre property that hosts one of the largest color festivals outside India every spring. The temple grounds have fruit and vegetable gardens, enclosures for llamas, peacocks and parrots and offers a donation-based vegetarian buffet daily. Members of the surrounding community, most of whom are Latter-day Saints, support the temple. Their revamped radio station now broadcasts rap and modern music composed and compiled to cater to a younger, Western audience.
