Dattatreya

Just outside the Sri Ranganatha temple, you will find a beautiful shrine to Lord Datta, surrounded by plants and rock features. Dattatreya’s three-faced murti is sitting in front of a growing fig tree, with which he is usually associated. As with all the murtis, please pray to them peacefully and as you feel drawn, but don’t cross into the area where he is installed and don’t take any photographs.
