The three-headed-figure of the Hindu God Dattatreya is being carved out of brass with some skilled craftsmanship. A deep sense of elegance and divine gracefulness characterize the gorgeous statue. Precision of a surgeon, minute details in treatment is manifest here.
Dattatreya is considered by Hindus as an incarnation of the Divine Trinity Gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. The word Datta means "Given", Datta is called so because the divine Trinity have “given” themselves in the form of a son to the sage couple Atri and Anasuya. He is the son of Atri, hence the name "Atreya." |
