According to the popular legend, the image of Lord Govind Devji was also called "Bajrakrit" because it was created by Bajranabh – The Great Grand Son of Lord Krishna. Some 5,000 years back when Shri Bajranabh was around 13 years old, he asked his Grand Mother (daughter-in-law of Lord Krishna) as to how Lord Shri Krishna looked like. Then based on her description, he made three images. In first image, the feet show the resemblance with the Lord Krishna's feet. In second image, chest area looked like Krishna's. In third image, the face showed complete resemblance with Lord Krishna's face when he was incarnated on Earth.
