About Nathdwara:

The term “Nathdwara” means “The Gateway to the Lord,” and is the principal pilgrimage place for the Pushti Marg or the Path of Grace, a branch of Vaishnavism founded by Shri Vallabhacharya. The major deity is Shrinathji, representing Lord Krishna as a seven-year-old child, Bala Swarup, lifting the Govardhan Hill. The idol was carved out of a monolithic black marble stone.

History and Legend – The idol was originally located in Vrindavan, near Mathura. In the 17^th century, Goswami priests took it from Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb’s iconoclastic tactics. According to the legends, when the chariot took the idol and reached the location where the temple now stands, its wheel was stuck in the mud. The priests and Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar took this as a heavenly indication that the Lord had selected this area as his permanent residence. The temple was eventually erected about 1672 AD. The temple is affectionately called Shrinathji ki Haveli, because the god is treated as a living child rather than an idol. The structure and daily rituals of the temple are designed around the daily routine and service of a royal family, and not in the typical form of a temple.
