The town is the birthplace of pichhwai painting, a style of large devotional cloth paintings depicting Krishna's divine pastimes that are prized by collectors worldwide. The drive from Mumbai to Nathdwara covers 870 km and typically takes around 13-14 hours via NH 48, passing through scenic landscapes.

NH 48 / National Highway RajasthanHistory & Significance
The Shrinathji idol was originally installed at Govardhan Hill near Mathura. When the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb ordered the destruction of temples, priests transported the idol on a bullock cart to safety; the cart's wheels sank into the ground at Sinhad village (present-day Nathdwara) in 1672, which was interpreted as divine command to install the idol there permanently. The Vallabha Sampraday, or Pushtimarg sect, has managed the temple ever since.
