Nath Ji- Nathdwara
Nathdwara lies 48 kms from Udaipur and literally
means the gateway to the Lord. This great
Vaishnavite shrine was built in the 17th century on
spot exactly defined by the Lord himself. The
legends have it that the image of the Lord Krishna
was being transferred to safer place from Vrindaban
to protect it from the destructive wrath of the
Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The image when it reached
the spot it vehicle the bullock carts wheel sank
axel deep in mud and refused to move further. The
accompanying priest realised that this was lord's
chose spot and the image did not want to travel any
further. Accordingly a Temple was built here.
