Palace of Gold Enters Summer Gracefully
June 2012
Pilgrims and guests love touring Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold in the New Vrindaban Community. This summer, things are looking even more attractive. The roses at the beautiful Rose Garden are in full bloom already. The Palace garden crew is working every day to continue to keep the manicured grounds around the Palace very attractive and neat for our guests to enjoy. This is Srila Prabhupada’s house, so we want it to always shine.
The Palace has undergone some improvements already this year. The roof and dome have been patched to prevent further water leakage. Painting on the outside of the Palace is also going on.
The former Palace Gift Shop is moving to a new facility due to damages. This new Gift Shop is almost done and will be located in a separate building next to the Palace towards the front. The Gift Shop is an important information center for our guests.
The front steps of the Palace are in much need of immediate repair. The budget for the upper front stairs is $60,000.00. Please contact Yugal Kisor das at 304-843-1600 ext 105 if you are interested in helping to support this crucial maintenance project for the Palace of Gold.
