Sanwaliya Seth Temple, located near Chittorgarh, is a highly venerated temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, worshipped here in his Sanwaliya (dark-colored) form. Unlike the typical image of Krishna as a prince or cowherd, Sanwaliya Seth is worshipped as a divine trader or businessman, which makes the temple particularly popular among traders and businessmen from across India.

History

In Mewar, that in the year 1840, a cowherd named Bholaram dreamed of burying three divine idols underground at Chhapar in Bagund village; upon excavating the site, three beautiful idols of Krishna were discovered, as depicted in the dream. One of the statues was taken to Mandaphiya, one to Bhadsoda and the third remained at Chapar, at the very place where it was found. All three locations became temples. These three temples are located close to each other, within the 5 km distance. The three temples of Sanwaliya Ji became renowned and devotees visit them in large numbers since then..
