International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) of Houston sometimes referred to as Hare Krishna Dham was incorporated in 1972 as a non-profit organization. In 1972 temple services were conducted with Deities pictures in a Montrose area home. In 1974 the temple was moved to a bigger facility on Rosalie Street in downtown and Sri Sri Nitai Chandra and Sri Sri Chaitanya Chandra’s deities (Gaura Nitai Deities) were installed. In 1979 Sri Sri Nitai Chandra and Sri Sri Gaura Chandra’s (smaller Gaura Nitai deities) deities were installed. By 1980, congregation members had increased and more space was required.
In 1984 – the current location on West 34th Street, an old church, was purchased and the temple was moved. Devotees started working on the temple renovation and after the renovation was complete in 1986, Sri Sri Radha NilaMadhava were installed. In 1989 Sri Sri Giriraj Govardhan was installed. In 1992 Sri Sri Radha Giridhari arrived into Houston temple.
In 2014, Sri Sri Radha NilaMadhava and all Deities moved to their new home. This grand festival included installation of Sri Sri Radha Giridhari.
