Udaipur : Srinathji Temple
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 06:00 - 18:00
The Vibe:Eight darshans a day, each one different.
The image of Srinathji was brought here from Vrindavan in the seventeenth century to escape Aurangzeb, and the town grew around where the cart is said to have stopped. It is the principal seat of the Pushtimarg tradition.
Darshan runs in short bursts, and the crowd surges when the curtain opens. Outside, the market is dense with sweets, pichwai paintings and the smell of frying.
- The principal seat of the Pushtimarg Vaishnav tradition
- Darshan runs in eight separate daily slots, each with its own name and ritual
- Rated 4.7 across more than 24,000 Google reviews
- The town is the origin of pichwai painting, sold throughout the market
