Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, is the supreme pilgrimage center of the Pushtimarg tradition founded by Jagadguru Vallabhacharya. Portraying Lord Krishna as a seven-year-old child lifting Mount Govardhan with his left hand, the black marble deity resides not in a conventional temple, but in an intimate royal manor termed 'Haveli'. Worship here centers on selfless Vatsalya Bhava (parental affection) structured around 8 daily viewing windows (Jhakis).
