Sourced Overview Evidence

The four-armed sculpture on the altar is understood by followers of the Pushti Marg system as a living embodiment of Krishna, who generated another pair of arms when playing hide-and-seek with his favorite milkmaid, Radha. The sculpture is called Dvaraka Nathji, and his shrine is located in Kankroli, near Nathdwara in northwestern India. The golden cows adorn a textile backdrop (<em>pichvai</em>) behind the sculpture and reference Krishna’s youth in a cowherd village.
