This is a picture of Sri Sri Radha Manohara in Montreal temple. The Darshan Krishna meditation book published by BBT in the year 2004 showcasing photos of deities in ISKCON temples around the world features the lotus face of Manohara on its front cover attesting to the beauty of these deities. They are the largest deities in Canada. 

These presiding deities were installed in the year 1976.

They are my favourite deities. Although I am not aware of any particular pastimes but I always admired them. I visited the temple on a few occasions. The name Manohara is very appropriate because He steals the heart of many devotees. The lifelike size of the deities and their detailed bodily features really make one feel the presence of Krishna in the alter.  I had an opportunity to do very some service for them such as making flower garlands along with other devotees.

That Darshan book cover is so beyond captivating that I coveted that book for a large portion of my life. I got to finally see them in person on the bus tour in 2012. Some summers later my in laws just so happened to be giving this book away and gifted it to me. Sri Sri Radha Manohara were one of the first deities I favored outside of the ones at my temple.
