A little distance away from Udaipur is the temple town of Nathdwara, renowned for its temple dedicated to Shrinathji. It is believed that the site of the temple was selected by Lord Krishna himself. When the statue was being moved to a safer place to escape the wrath of the invading Mughals, the wheels of the chariot sank into the sand. This was seen as the Lord's wish to dwell here and a temple was erected at that very spot. Around this temple grew a township. This temple attracts devotees througout the year.

The magnificent temple complex of Ranakpur is one of the five main holy places of the Jains. Though over 500 years old, these temples are very well preserved and are an architectural marvel.
