The proposal summarizes the key elements of the previous Mayapur master plan and proposes a new plan based on those elements. The proposal orients the city around two main axes connecting the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium and Srila Prabhupada's samadhi. A grid system divides the city into modules centered around a large temple park. The plan allocates areas for residential, commercial, and community uses like schools and allocates over half the land to parks, spiritual facilities, and open spaces.

1. MAYAPUR MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL

2. PREVIOUS MASTER PLAN ANALYSIS

3. Many studies were done which can be
successfully implemented in the new Master
Plan
(in particular inside the core area).
PREVIOUS MASTER PLAN ANALYSIS

9. After identifying these four major
elements of the previous Master Plan we

STEP 1
LANDMARKS

17. Is the temple
of the Lord; it
should be the
focal point of
the whole city.

18. This axis is
oriented north-
south.

19. Srila
Prabhupada is
our Founder-
Acarya and
his Samadhi is
a very
important
landmark.

20. This axis is
oriented east-
west.

21. Intersection of
these two
axes
determines
the Temple
Square from
which you
access the
Temple and
Samadhi.

22. Is directed
towards the
TOVP along
the north-
south axis.

26. Is developed
along the east-
west axis.

28. PROPOSAL
STEP 2
CITY GRID

29. The TOVP is
rotated 11.3
degrees from
the east-west
direction. It is
acceptable
according to
the Vastu rules.

30. The
MODULES of
the grid
(PADAS) are
determined by
the size of the
temple
footprint which
is 170 m wide.

31. The
multiplication
of the module
determines
the city grid.

32. City grid
determines
orientation
and size of the
city blocks.

34. PROPOSAL
STEP 3
TEMPLE PARK

35. TEMPLE PARK
A big size park connected with the temple is needed:
• To accommodate large number of people visiting the temple;
• To provide un-obstructed flow of the visitors;
• To accommodate Theme Parks (saving space);
• To provide enough space for different festivals and activities
• Will give enough open space for proper appreciation of the
Temple.

36. Proposed Park size is the same as in the previous Master Plan.

37. Proposed Park size is the same as in the previous Master Plan.

38. The grid and
the park.

39. Two water
canals
continues the
direction of
the axes and
is resolved in
sub-modules.

40. We allocate a
pond in the
north-east side
of the park,
according to
Vastu directives,
and a big
Sankirtan
Stadium.

41. Divided in the
Theme Parks
on the right and
an appreciation
space with
gardens around
the TOVP.

42. THEME PARK: Getting to the temple
through Krishna’s pastimes
The reach of the temple through
Prabhupada Avenue will give the
opportunity to witness the exhibitions
of different dioramas depicting the
pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna.

70. THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE GRID
A grid made out of squares allows us interact the modules with each
other and do different operations:

73. The use of a grid has advantages, such as:
• Provides flexibility for Mayapur development;
• Helps to develop the city in an organized/predicted
manner;
• Assists pedestrian movement;
• Geometry helps with orientation and wayfinding;
• Maximizes the use of the land in blocks.
