Very few people seem to know that the city of Patan too has a fairly well built temple dedicated to Dattatreya, the symbolic name indicating Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiva all three in one. This two tiered pagoda style temple with many interesting erotic figures carved at the base of the temple struts is said to have
been built in late 18th century A.D.
The main authority responsible for conducting regular service of this temple is the Puri family living next to this temple. The locality or Tole where this
monument stands is known as Tilako.
