Dattatreya Temple, Murud Janjira

The Dattatreya Temple is a holy shrine that was built on a hill and is dedicated to Lord Dattatreya. Lying in Murud, the temple has an idol of Lord Dattatreya with three heads – each signifying a Hindu god – Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara.

The temple was found by a certain Swami Bramhendra who found the holy footwear down the valley several centuries ago. This footwear is known as Paduka in Hindi and is greatly revered by the worshippers.
