The Kiev temple is a rather grand six-storey brick edifice that brings to mind a Ukranian church. Inside, however, the large and impressive temple room features a traditional black and white marble floor, a wrap-around balcony, large windows that let in lots of natural light, and a beautifully carved altar and Vyasasana for Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Srila Prabhupada. The temple also includes residential ashrams for men and women, and rooms for senior guests. Another building close by is home to the Kiev Spiritual Academy for Vaishnava Education.
