Charbhuja
is
a
historical
and
ancient
Hindu
temple
located
in
Garhbor
village
of
Kumbhalgarh
tehsil
of
Rajsamand
district
in
the
state
of
Rajasthan,
India.
According
to
the
legend,
Lord
Krishna
expressed
his
desire
to
go
to
Gaulok
himself,
while
ordering
Uddhav
to
do
penance
in
the
Himalayas,
and
Uddhav
said
that
I
will
be
saved,
but
your
pious
devotees
Pandavas
and
Sudama
will
hear
the
news
of
your
going
to
Gaulok.
Will
give
up
their
life.
In
such
a
situation,
Shri
Krishna
asked
Vishwakarma
to
make
two
idols
of
him
and
Balarama,
which
he
gave
to
King
Indra
and
told
to
hand
over
to
Pandavas
and
Sudama
and
tell
them
that
both
these
idols
are
mine
and
I
am
in
them.
Keep
worshiping
these
idols
with
love,
by
doing
my
darshan
and
worship
in
the Kali
Yuga,
I
will
fulfill
the
desire
of
human
beings.
Indra
Dev
provided
the
idol
of
Shri
Krishna
to
Sudama
and
the
Pandavas.
Sudama
started
worshiping
these
idols.
Presently
in
Garhbor,
the
idol
named
Charbhuja
ji
is
worshiped
by
Pandavas
and
the
idol
worshiped
by
Sudama
is
located
in
Sevantri
village
under
the
name
of
Rupnarayan
ji.
The
Pandavas
are
said
to
have
submerged
the
idol
before
going
to
the
Himalayas
so
that
no
one
can
ruin
its
sanctity.
Then-Rajput
ruler
of
Garhbor,
Gangdev,
was
commanded
by
Charbhujanath
ji
to
bring
the
idol
out
of
river
and
install
it
in
a
temple.
The
king
did
so,
he
got
the
idol
obtained
from
water
installed
in
the
temple.
Over
the
years,
125
battles
have
been
fought
to
safeguard
this
idol,
and
it
has
been
immersed
in
water
several
times
for
protection.
It
is
folktale
that
due
to
safeguard
the
idol
from
Muslims
it
was
submerged
in
water
again
and
with
time
it
was
forgotten
but
was
again
found
by
Suraji
gujjar.
The
temple
was
built
by
ruler
of
Mewar
and
priest
are
from
Gujjar
community
until
today.
The
temple
was
built
in
1444
AD.
According
to
the
inscription
inside
the
temple,
village
name
was
Badri,
therefore,
the
temple
is
also
called
Badrinath.
