इतिहास
History
Known as the crown jewel of the Pushtimarg Vaishnava tradition, this temple serves as the spiritual palace of Lord Krishna in his formal kingly role as *Dwarkadhish*. The current grand structure was constructed in 1814 CE by Seth Gokuldas Parikh, the royal treasurer of the Gwalior State, to institutionalize the daily eight-fold royal daily worship (*Ashtayam Seva*).
