The Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple at Chowpatty in Mumbai was founded by Radhanath Swami in 1986 and joined ISKCON in 1994. The temple is named after the two main deities - Radha and Gopinatha (another name for Krishna, meaning 'lord of the gopis'), also Lalita and Vishaka, two prominent gopis of Vrindavan.
