The Shrinathji Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shrinathji located in Nathdwara. It is considered an important pilgrimage centre by Vaishnavas. The svarupa or divine form of Shrinathji is said to be self-manifested. According to the legend, the deity Krishna self-manifested from a stone and emerged from the Govardhan Hills. First of all, Shravan Shukla Panchami no. On the day of 1466, when a Braj resident went to Govardhan Mountain to search for his lost cow, he saw the raised left arm of Shri Govardhanathji. He called other Braj residents and made them see the raised left arm. Then an old Braj resident said that Lord Shri Krishna had protected the Braj residents, the cows of Braj and Braj from the wrath of Indra by carrying Giriraj Govardhan on the finger of his left hand. Then the people of Braj worshiped his left arm. This is the same left arm of Lord Krishna. He is standing in the Lord Kandara and now only his left arm is being shown. No one should try to extract the form of God by digging a mountain. His form will be visible only when he wishes. After this, for about 69 years, the people of Braj used to bathe this upper arm with milk, worship it, offer it and worship it. A fair started being held here every year on the day of Nag Panchami.
