Lord Dwarkadheesh, though is the Original God, i.e. Aadi Narayan Vishnu himself, in his incarnation as Krishna, he had father and forefathers, sons and grandsons, relatives, etc. Devotees have made an attempt to draw a family tree of Lord Krishna. Dr. Nirbhayram Pujari’s depiction of 71 generations of Lord Krishna through a family tree is unique. Dr. Nirbhayram, a resident of Dwarka and a temple priest, is a scholar and a devotee of Dwarkadheesh Lord Krishna.
