place where the left arm of Shri
Govardhan Nathji had appeared. There was a hole. In that she used to return with a stream of milk flowing from her udder. Sadu Pandey suspected that the cowherd milked the Dhoomar cow in the afternoon, hence this cow did not give milk in the evening.One day he went after the cow and wanted to know the situation, he saw that the cow stood at a place on Govardhan Parvan and milk started flowing from its udders. Saddu Pandey was surprised. When he went near him, he saw the Mukharvind of Shri Govardhan Nathji. On the same day, on Vaishakh Krishna 11 Samvat 1535, Shri Vallabhacharya appeared in Champaranya, Chhattisgarh. Shri Govardhannathji himself said to Saddu Pandey - "My name is Devdaman, and my other names are Indradaman and Nagdaman."

Govardhanathji. He called other Braj residents and made them see the raised left arm. Then an old Braj resident said that Lord Shri Krishna had protected the Braj residents, the cows of Braj and Braj from the wrath of Indra by carrying Giriraj Govardhan on the finger of his left hand. Then the people of Braj worshiped his left arm. This is the same left arm of Lord Krishna. He is standing in the Lord Kandara and now only his left arm is being shown. No one should try to extract the form of God by digging a mountain. His form will be visible only when he wishes. After this, for about 69 years, the people of Braj used to bathe this upper arm with milk, worship it, offer it and worship it. A fair started being held here every year on the day of Nag Panchami.

Shrinathji is seen as Thakorji or lord of the House or Haveli and seva (service) is offered rather than worship. Like a regular household it has a chariot for movement (In fact the original chariot in which Shrinathji was brought to Singhar), a storeroom for milk (Doodhghar), a storeroom for betel (Paanghar), a storeroom for sugar and sweetmeats (Mishrighar and Pedaghar), a storeroom for flowers (Phoolghar), a functional kitchen (Rasoighar), a jewellery chamber (Gahnaghar), a treasury (Kharcha bhandaar), a stable for horses of chariot (Ashvashala), a drawing room (Baithak), a gold and silver grinding wheel (Chakki).

At Unawas, Thakur Vijay Singh of Kothariya and his men fought with Holkar's army and were killed in the battle. Holkar's army soon reached Nathdwara. Holkar's men first plundered the town mercilessly and then demanded 10 Lakh rupees. With the mediation of Seth Balachand, the amount was brought down to the immediate payment of 1 Lakh. Singhvi Motichand was sent to negotiate further, but Holkar arrested him, broke the locks of the temple and looted the treasure and valuables of the temple. Holkar's army then plundered not the just the town of Nathdwara but the entire district and marched to Banera.

When the deity reached the spot at village Sihad or Sinhad, the wheels of the bullock cart in which the deity was being transported sank axle-deep in mud and could not be moved any further.
