Nathdwara Rajasthan Tours - Tour of Nathdwara is a very famous Hindu pilgrimage site.
This is
one of the most eminent pilgrimage shrines of India, preserving
Krishna as Govardhana Giridhari.
Nathdwara is situated 48-km
northeast of Udaipur in Rajasthan, on the banks of the Banas
River. Nathdwara enshrines Shrinathji - an image of Krishna,
which was originally enshrined at the Vraja Bhoomi at Mount
Govardhana near Mathura.
The name Nathdwara means 'Gate of
the Lord'. The image was brought to Mewar, for the sake of
protection during the period of Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor.
The chariot carrying the image is said to have got stuck here,
and hence a temple was established with the permission of
the then Rana of Mewar, at Nathdwara Tours.
There are several places to see at Tours to Nathdwara. The Shrinathji
Temple is one such tourist attraction.
Shrinathji represents
the form of Krishna who subdued Indra, the king of devas.
The image of Srinathji is believed to have been a self manifested
one.
It was originally worshipped in a humble shrine and then
moved to a larger temple in its surrounding area.
Vallabhacharya
made arrangements for the worship of this deity and this tradition
was continued by his son, Vitthalesh Goswami.
It is believed
that Taj Bibi, a wife of Akbar had visited this temple. It
was during the 17th century that this image was shifted to
Rajasthan.
The Rajsamand Lake is another tourist attraction in Tours to Nathdwara
which is close to Kankroli. It is a dam built by Maharana
Raj Singh in 1660 AD.

the banks of the lake which is paved with marble and has beautifully
carved arches and chhatris'.
