HistoryEdit

Srinathji Temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna holding the Govardhan Hill in his hand. The 12th century temple has been constructed in the shape of the house of Nanda Maharaja. It is also known as the Nanda Bhavan and Nandalaya and has a spire with seven flags along with a wheel. The temple has a story behind its establishment. According to the legend, the image of Lord Shrinath ji was enshrined in Vrindavan (land of Lord Krishna), but to protect the idol from the destructive rage of Aurangzeb.
