Dattatreya Temple

At the east end of Tachupal Tole, the eye-catching Dattatreya Temple was originally in-built 1427, supposedly using the timber from one tree. the marginally mismatched porch was added later. The temple is devoted to Dattatreya, a curious hybrid deity, blending elements of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Judging from the Garuda statue and thus the conch and chakra disc mounted on pillars supported by stone turtles before of the temple, Vishnu seems to possess initiate on top.The three-storey temple is raised above the underside on a brick and terracotta base, which is carved with erotic scenes, including unexpected humour where one bored-looking woman multitasks by washing her hair while being pleasured by her husband.
