Footnotes

Dauji II, also known as Damodarji, stands at the painting's threshold venerating Shri Nathji. Dauji II ruled Nathdwara peacefully between 1797 and 1826 and is credited with building a large sanctuary (gaushala) for 4000 temple cows. See a later, posthumous, but closely related, painting of Dauji II performing arati on the day of Sapta-Svarpotsava, which is dated 1846 (Ambalal, Krishna as Shrinathji, New York, 1987, p.66), and a smaller version in the Ambalal Collection (Ghose, Gates of the Lord, Chicago, 2016, p.31, fig.9).

Provenance
Collection of Milo Cleveland Beach
