In contrast to the usual model, in which the CMBR dipole is interpreted as a Doppler effect due to peculiar velocity, our model explores an alternative interpretation, in which the CMBR dipole is non--Doppler, and the observer is comoving with the mean matter flow. We do not assume a background frame relative to which peculiar velocities are calculated. Our analysis is fully nonlinear and the density contrast is not assumed to be small. We obtain exact expressions for the Hubble and deceleration parameters, and find that both parameters have quadrupole anisotropies, but no dipoles. A simple numerical procedure for calculating the CMBR dipole anisotropy in our model is presented, and the observed 0.1% dipole is shown to be reproducible with a reasonable choices of parameters.
