Sacred Mission & Contemporary Overview:
Originally worshipped by Jagadguru Vallabhacharya Ji on Govardhan Hill since 1478 CE, the deity was transported south in 1669 CE by Goswami Damodardas Ji (Tilakayat Maharaj) to protect it from Aurangzeb's iconoclasm. When the bullock cart's axle sank into the earth at village Sinhad near Udaipur, Maharana Raj Singh I of Mewar pledged the lives of 100,000 Rajputs to defend the Lord, establishing Nathdwara ('Gateway to the Lord') in February 1672 CE.
