The Holy Kshetra

One of the most revered Dattatreya Peethas, where the divine presence of Shreeguru blesses all

"The aspirations of Datta devotees who worship with true love, faith and dedication shall be fulfilled."

Sri Kshetra Gangapur is one of the most famous Dattatreya Peethas, associated with Sri Narasimha Sarasvati Swami — a divine incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. It stands on the sacred bank of the river Bhima in Afzalpur taluka, Gulbarga district of Karnataka.

The holy confluence of rivers Bhima and Amaraja — the Bhima-Amarja Sangam — is considered extraordinarily holy. The Nirguna Math here is adorned with the sacred Nirguna Padukas of Shreeguru himself.

Devotees from across the land come here seeking healing, peace of mind, and the divine blessings of Lord Dattatreya. Shreeguru's miracles continue to unfold for those who arrive with faith.
