The sacred iconography of Gitadwar was as carefully planned as its architecture. It represents the three primary forms of worship in Sanatan Dharma, making the gateway itself a complete miniature temple for all traditions within Hinduism.

Form 1

Panchadevopasana

The five primary deities: Bhagavan Narayan, Bhagavan Shiv, Bhagavan Ganesh, Bhagavan Surya, and Bhagavati Mahashakti, representing the five sampradayas (Vaishnava, Shaiva, Ganapatya, Saura, Shakta). All five are present at Gitadwar.

Form 2

Avataropasana

The worship of avatars, primarily Bhagavan Shri Ram (Maryada Purushottam) and Bhagavan Shri Krishna (Leelapurushottam), India's two most widely worshipped divine forms, both enshrined at Gitadwar.

Form 3

Angopasana

Worship of associated forms: Ganesh, Gauri, Navagrahas (especially Surya and Chandra), and the Matrikas and Yoginis as aspects of Mahashakti, representing the broader sacred ecosystem within Sanatan Dharma.

A Gateway for All Aastik Sampradayas

By incorporating all three forms of Sanatan worship, the Gitadwar becomes sacred and meaningful to devotees of every tradition within Hinduism. A Shaiva approaching the gate, a Vaishnava, a Shakta: all find their own deity honoured at this threshold. This was an intentional, inclusive design philosophy that mirrors the core teaching of Gobind Bhawan Karyalaya: that all paths lead to the same Divine Truth.
