Kankroli

As with the Shrinathji at Nathdwara, the idol of Dwarikadheesh ji was installed in a new temple at Kankroli in V.S.1726, the town nestles by the beautiful lake of Rajsamand, which was built by Maharana Raj Singh.

History reveals that the king Ambrish worshipped Prabhu Dwarikadheesh at Arbuda hills [Mount Abu ] from where the deity was shifted by various devotees finally to Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya ji. The third grand son of Vallabhacharya, Shri Bal Krishna Lal ji took the possession of the deity and since then, Kankroli is known as third peeth of vaishnav religion or "SHUDDHADWAIT" or "PUSHTIMARG"
