The Shree Radhakrishna Temple is located on Rosehill Road in the city of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA. Established in 2022, the temple is situated in the center of approximately three acres of land. It is fully owned by the Antarastriya Nimbarka Adhyatmik Parisad (ANAP), a non-profit organization.
While the temple was initially inaugurated on Shree Krishna Janmashtami in 2022, the formal and historic Pratishthapana (consecration ceremony) of the deities took place on April 30, 2025, on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya.

The temple houses 14 consecrated idols, all crafted from exquisite marble. These include:
- Shree Radha Krishna

To maintain an atmosphere of profound peace and focus, the consumption of water and the use of mobile phones are prohibited inside the temple hall, allowing devotees to engage in meditation and chanting (Japa) without distraction.
