Overview

Dattatreya Puja for families in Shivala

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.

Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Planning Your Puja in Shivala

Vehicles can reach the main road, but the last stretch to houses near the river is often on foot.
Steps down to the ghats can be steep, so plan for elderly relatives.
Mornings are peaceful for snan and sankalp before a home puja.
Water levels rise during the monsoon and some ghat steps may be under water.
Confirm with your guest house before planning a havan on the terrace.
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.
