Overview
Dattatreya Puja for families in Cantonment
Dattatreya Puja is the worship of Lord Dattatreya, the son of Sage Atri and Anasuya, in whom the three deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are honoured together. He is revered as the Adi Guru, the first teacher, and is usually shown with three faces, accompanied by a cow and four dogs.
The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.
