Guru Dattatreya is worshipped as the Adi Guru and is especially popular in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and parts of central India. A Dattatreya marble murti carries rich symbolism, so the carving matters. This guide explains the symbols, forms and sizes to help you choose.
A Dattatreya murti shows three heads for Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, with a cow and four dogs beside him. Choose a size that gives all these details space, check the carving of the three faces and pick white marble or a painted finish.
What the Tridev Form Represents
The three heads are traditionally understood as Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, which is why this form is called Tridev. Some designs show a single head with the three deities symbolised in the attributes he carries.
The Cow and Four Dogs
A cow stands behind Dattatreya and four dogs sit around him. They are commonly explained as symbols of the Earth or Kamadhenu and of the four Vedas. A good murti shows these figures clearly and in proportion to the main deity.

Forms Available
Popular forms include Guru Roop, Avadhut, Digambar and Tridev Dattatreya. They differ in posture, ornaments and the objects held. Tell us the form followed at your family’s or guru’s tradition and we will match the design.
Size and Detailing
Because of the cow and dogs, Dattatreya murtis need a wider base than a single standing figure. A 12 to 18 inch murti suits home mandirs and 24 inch and above suits temples. Check the three faces for symmetry and the fine carving of the kamandalu, trishul and damru.
Send your mandir size or a reference photo and we will suggest suitable designs.
Datta Jayanti
Datta Jayanti, usually observed in the month of Margashirsha, is a major occasion for worship. If you want a new murti for the occasion, order a few weeks ahead.
