भज मन शंकर भोलानाथ भज मन॥ध्रु०॥ अंग विभूत सबही शोभा। ऊपर फुलनकी बास॥१॥ एकहि लोटाभर जल चावल। चाहत ऊपर बेलकी पात॥२॥ मीरा कहे प्रभू गिरिधर नागर। पूजा करले समजे आपहि आप॥३॥

Dattatreya
This captivating chromolithograph portrays Lord Dattatreya, the revered avatar embodying the divine trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Standing gracefully in a serene, lush landscape beside a tranquil river, the deity possesses three heads and six hands, holding sacred emblems such as the trident, conch, discus, and water pot. He is accompanied by four dogs, symbolizing the four Vedas, and the wish-fulfilling cow Kamadhenu, representing the earth and sustenance. The Ravi Varma Press successfully transformed how millions of households experienced divinity, bridging classical iconography with Western realism to evoke a profound sense of sacred devotion and protective presence.
