Sanwaliya Seth Temple

Sanwaliya Seth Temple is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna in his Sanwariya form, located in Mandaphiya village in the Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan. Established in 1840 after the discovery of three idols by a milkman named Bholaram Gurjar, the temple attracts devotees from across India who regard the deity as a divine business partner. The temple features a 36-foot shikhara with a gold-plated kalash and hosts annual fairs during Devjhulni Ekadashi.

Visitors can expect a spiritually charged atmosphere with continuous darshan opportunities throughout the day except during afternoon break hours. The temple complex features smooth marble pathways, broad walkways, and a prominent 36-foot shikhara topped with a golden kalash. Devotees can witness traditional aarti ceremonies, participate in prayers, and observe the unique practice of placing business accounts before the deity. The temple premises include ample parking, clean facilities, and shaded seating areas for visitors.

The temple was established in 1840 when a milkman named Bholaram Gurjar discovered three idols of Lord Krishna while clearing babool trees for road construction between Udaipur and Chittorgarh. The flag hoisting ceremony was performed in 1978 in the presence of a large gathering. Construction and beautification work began in 1961 and continues to this day, with a 36-foot shikhara completed and a gold-plated kalash installed in February 2011.

The temple holds unique cultural significance as devotees regard Sanwaliya Seth as their divine business partner, placing their account books and money before the deity and vowing a share of their profits. The temple hosts an annual three-day fair during Devjhulni Ekadashi in the month of Bhadrapada (August-September). Monthly, the deity's donation box is opened on Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi, and mahaprasad is distributed the following day on Amavasya.
