If you’ve ever traveled through Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh district and asked anyone about a place of miracles and unwavering faith, chances are you’ve been guided to Sanwariya Seth Mandir. I visited this temple last monsoon season, and the moment I stepped inside the premises, I felt something shift — the peace, the energy, the faith of the people… it’s beyond words.
Sanwariya Seth, a form of Lord Krishna, is believed to fulfill the true wishes of his devotees — especially those in financial or emotional distress. That’s why so many call him “the businessman’s God”. From traders to farmers, travelers to devotees, people from across India come to offer their faith and gratitude here.
Let me walk you through everything you need to know before planning your trip in 2025.
