With Srila Prabhupada’s instructions and blessings, some devotees arrived in Sri Lanka on 4-10-1976 to open a temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka. An entrepreneur and philanthropist, Mr. E. Shanmugam, donated a place to open a temple for ISKCON in Colombo. On 15/03/1977, ISKCON was registered as a religious and cultural organization in the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.

The divinity of Sri Krishna was given to ISKCON Sri Lanka by the TTD, Andhra Pradesh India in 1982 and Lord Sri Krishna was formally installed with the Kumbabishekam ceremony in 1982. The divinity of Srimati Radharani was also given by TTD in 1990 and installed with the Kumbabishekam ceremony in 1990. After that, the temple was named as Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple and the deities are called Sri Radha Rajagopal.

In 1992, ISKCON was officially incorporated by an Act of Parliament n. 69 of 1992. In 1996, the centenary of the appearance of Srila Prabhupada was celebrated with 1008 sacred waters of the sacred places in India.
