Understand

Nathdwara, a small but vibrant township, is centered around the temple dedicated to Lord Shrinathji (Shri Krishna). This temple holds immense religious significance for Hindus of Pushti Marg Vaishnavs. Life in Nathdwara revolves around the Haveli, which refers to all the temples of the Pushtimarg Vaishnavism. The temple itself is situated in a historic fortress, which was once a royal palace of the Sisodia Rajput rulers of Mewar. It was moved from Mathura to Nathdwara to protect it during the time of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb's campaign against Hindu worship. Visiting Nathdwara offers a chance to immerse oneself in the rich and sacred history of this holy place.
