The Shrinathji is an important form (swarup) of Lord Krishna in Pushti Marg, representing him at the age of seven years. He with his left arm holds Mount Goverdhan while his right hand rests on his waist. There is a parrot on the top center. Two sages are meditating near Shrinathji's left hand and below them is a snake while another below it is a tiger. Beneath the tiger there are two peacocks. On the other side is one sage beneath him is the snake and two cows. Shrinathji's left hand was first seen in 1410 on the summit of Mount Goverdhan. It was offered milk because the inhabitants worshipped as a single deity. The face (Mukharvind) of the Lord emerged in 1479 when Vallabhacharya was born. Hence the birth of the Mukharvind(Lotus like face) of Shrinathji.
