Religious Significance

During the Moghul period temples were in danger of being desecrated and one such temple was that of Dwarkadhishji in Gokul. Devotees transported the idol to Ahmedabad in the care of Goswami Shri Girdharji Maharaj who later on, at the request of Shri Ranjitsinhji, Maharana of Udaipur, brought the idol to Kankroli where it was installed in a shrine in Aasotia village in 1726. The shrine was on the banks of the Rajsamand Lake. The temple was flooded by rains and the then Maharaj Kumar Shree Amar Singhji allotted hilly land for construction of a new temple around 1776 and this temple was also on the banks of the Rajsamand Lake. The temple underwent renovations and extensions until 1980. Some claim that the idol was transported finally to Shrinathji at Nathdwara.

History

Shree Dwarkadhish Ji Mandir was built in 1676 A.D. The deity of Lord Dwarkadhish was brought here in 1671 A.D. during the rule of Maharana Raj Singh. The idol was carried by Shri Gir Darji Maharaj from Gokul to Ahmedabad to prevent the Moghuls from destroying it. It was kept at Asotiya village until the Temple was finished.
