Nathdwara (55 Km) - Nathdwara is a renowned center of pilgrimage for the devotees of Krishna and Vishnu alike. It is believed that when the statue of Shrinath was being moved to a safer place to escape the wrath of Emperor Aurangzeb, the wheel of the chariot carrying this statue got stuck in the mud. Seeing it as a divine sign that Lord Krishna wished to dwell here, a temple was erected at this spot and the holy township grew around the temple. The main Shrinath Ji temple attracts devotees throughout the year. Cloth paintings, or Pichhawis of Nathdwara are famous and it is still possible to see artists working on these intricate paintings. The narrow lanes of Nathdwara have many souvenir shops.
