Jyotiba temple

Jyotiba Temple is located at an altitude of 3124 ft above the sea level in the Panhala Range in Maharashtra. The temple is dedicated to Jyotiba (also Dattatreya), the incarnation of the divine trio. The interesting myth behind this holy shrine is that the three gods - Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva fused together in the form of Jyotiba to destroy the wicked Ratnasur.

The major attraction of this temple is the large fair conducted on the full moon night during the months of Chaithra and Vaishakh.

A unique shrine that is the abode of the three major gods of Hindu religion, Jyothiba temple fills the minds of the devotees with a pleasant feeling.
