Located in Rajasthan, Nathdwara is the shrine of the presiding deity, Shrinathji, of the Vaishnava Pushtimarga sect or the Vallabha Sampradaya established by Vallabhacarya. The murti that you see on this page is a skilful reproduction of the idol installed in Nathdwara’s 17th century temple.Fashioned from brass, it depicts Lord Krishna as a balaka (boy-child). The skirts of His attire are flowing on either side of the standing deity. Overlain with layers upon layers of jewels cascading all the way down to His divine feet. Right hand behind His back; in the left hand raised high above the head, a floral implement at the end of His sash.The Shrinathji murti that you see on this page comes in two colour finishes. One is the resplendent colour of pure engraved brass; while the other, also made of brass, comes with a dark, bronze patina.
