Nathdwara

Shrinathji's temple town, home of Pichwai painting.

Free darshanDarshan at fixed times through the dayAbout 48 km north

Nathdwara grew around the 17th-century temple of Shrinathji, a child form of Krishna. Darshan happens in short windows called jhankis, each with its own dress and decoration.

The town is the home of Pichwai, the painted temple backdrops now collected around the world. Just outside town stands the 369-foot Statue of Belief, a seated Shiva.

  • Phones aren't allowed inside the temple.
  • Check the jhanki times before you leave Udaipur.
