Overview
Dattatreya Puja for families in Kedar Ghat
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.
Kedar Ghat is one of the most recognisable ghats in south Varanasi, with its distinctive painted steps and the Kedareshwar Shiva temple above it. The ghat is a popular place for a morning Ganga snan, and it is busy but less hectic than the central ghats.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
