Dy.CM Eknath Shinde confirms renaming Juhu Metro Station ISKCON to ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna Mandir’
This renaming of the Metro Station comes as a significant decision aimed at honoring religious sentiments and addressing public demand,
The decision was made following a high-level meeting chaired by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde, along with MP Ravindra Waikar. Amidst the meeting, Shinde directed MMRDA Commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee to implement the renaming of the metro station.
The proposal for renaming was originally submitted by MP Ravindra Waikar through an official representation to then Chief Minister, now Deputy CM, Eknath Shinde. The demand has been supported by devotees and local residents, who have long requested that the metro station reflect the temple’s spiritual significance due to its proximity to the renowned ISKCON Temple, a major spiritual attraction for visitors from across India and abroad.
The meeting, held on Monday, July 14, 2025, at Deputy CM Shinde’s office in the state legislature building, was convened to address pending issues in the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency.
