Overview

Dattatreya Puja for families in Rathyatra

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.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Tell us whether you follow a Marathi, Gujarati or Hindi Datta tradition.
Keep a Datta picture or murti, flowers, tulsi and a simple naivedyam ready, or ask for samagri.
