Shrinathji is a form of Hindu god Krishna, manifest as a seven-year-old child. The principal shrine of Shrinathji is situated at the temple town of Nathdwara, located 48 Kilometers North-east of Udaipur city in Rajasthan. Shrinathji is the central presiding deity of the Vaishnava sect known as the Pushti Marg.
The icon of Shrinathji is specific as the deity symbolizes that form of Krishna, when he lifted the Govardhan hill. In the image, the lord is revealed with his left hand raised and the right hand made into a fist resting at the waist, with a large diamond placed beneath the lips.
The idol of Shrinathji wears exquisitely worked jewel. Shrinathji is adorned with intricately woven shaneels and silk clothe having original zari and embroidery works. The Nathdwara temple is referred to as the Haveli, term used for the temple because it was situated in a fortified mansion, or Haveli, once a royal palace of the Sesodia Rajput rulers of Mewar. Accordingly, Shrinathji is referred to with the honorific Thakurji in local area and customarily the name Shrinathji is not uttered as a matter of respect and reverence. The religious tradition holds that Shrinathji would return to Govardhan some day.
