Mumbai: Sri Dattatreya Jayanti, also known as Datta Jayanti, is observed on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Margashirsha month. This day honours Lord Dattatreya, a revered deity and guru, who guides his devotees toward an ideal and prosperous life. Worshiping Lord Datta is believed to assist the souls of ancestors in their journey toward Moksha (liberation) or reincarnation. The deity’s three heads symbolise tranquillity, harmony, and success.
Lord Dattatreya is regarded as a divine manifestation of the Trimurti—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—and is venerated as both a deity and a guru. Known as ‘Shri Gurudevdutt’ among his devotees, he is celebrated for promoting the ideals of social equality and fraternity.
According to the Shrimad Bhagavata, Dattatreya gained wisdom from 24 Gurus, and his teachings gave rise to the Datta sect. His devotees believe that performing puja on Margashirsha Purnima fulfils their desires and offers immense spiritual benefits.

Purnima tithi: Begins at 4:58 pm on December 14 and ends at 2:31 pm on December 15
Temples dedicated to Shri Dattatreya, especially in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Gujarat, host elaborate celebrations. The Shri Gurucharitra is recited over seven days leading up to the festival, and some temples, like Manik Prabhu Temple, observe week-long festivities.
Fasting is a significant practice on this day. Devotees avoid tamasic foods like meat, onions, and garlic, and consume only sattvic foods like fruits and milk. Some observe a Nirjala Vrat, fasting without food or water, to deepen their devotion and spiritual focus.
Lord Dattatreya was born to Sage Atri and his virtuous wife, Anasuya, who performed penance to have a son embodying the qualities of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. A legend recounts how the three deities, disguised as sages, tested Anasuya’s virtue. Through her unwavering devotion and wisdom, she transformed them into infants and later merged them into a single child, Dattatreya, who embodied the Trimurti’s powers.
Lord Dattatreya is depicted with three heads and six arms, carrying the Shankha, Chakra, Gada, Trishul, Kamandal, and a begging bowl, representing the divine attributes of the Trimurti. He is widely worshipped across India, especially in Southern states and Maharashtra, where temples host grand celebrations for Dattatreya Jayanti. Devotees believe that sincere prayers to Shri Datta on this day can fulfil their wishes and lead them to spiritual enlightenment.
