Nathdwara Tourism And Travel Guide

Nathdwara in Rajasthan, literally meaning the gateway to the Lord(`Nath` meaning `the Lord` and `Dwara`, is `gate`) is nestled in the Aravalli hills on the banks of the River Banas. This otherwise obscure town figures prominently in the pilgrim circuit of India as it houses a 17th-century Vaishnavite shrine of Lord Krishna known as Shrinathji. The temple is counted amongst the richest temples of India because of the large sums of money it receives from the ardent devotees. It is one of the most important shrines for the devotees of Pushti Marg as propagated by Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya.
