Shrinathdwara - The gate way to the Lord !

When Aurangzeb embarked on a policy of total destruction of Hindu temples, the custodians of the idol of Shrinathji of Govardhan near Mathura, left that place with the idol in search of a safe heaven. While several other princes were diffident, it was Maharana Raj Singh who dared to provide refuge. In 1672 AD Shrinathji was installed in a new temple built in Sinhad, now called Nathdwara on the banks of the river Banas.
Ever since Nathdwara is a place of great sanctity for the vaishnavas of the pushtimargi or vallabha sect. Nathdwara is known for Pichwais (Large paintings on cloth depicting legends from the life of Lord Krishna ) and Haweli music ( devotional music, akin to dhrupad singing with composition meant for various seasons, festivals and sections of the day )
Shrinathji is the image of Lord Krishna. There are two different types of pooja - one is 'Nityotsava', daily routine and another 'Varshotsava', occasional or special. The former includes " Mangla, Shringar, Gwal, Rajbhog, Uthapan, Bhog, Arti and Shayan." Where as the later includes "Prakatyotsava, Patotsava, Basantotsava, Dolotsava, Nand Mahotsava, Shardotsava, Snan Yatra, Janmashthami, Gopashthami and Anna koot "etc.

Dwarikadheesh ji

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"
