Today, Shri Gurumandir has not only become an important address in the
region, but is also a great 'shraddhasthan' for devotees of Lord Shri Dattatreya. Visiting devotees feel spiritually satisfied and
contented upon visiting the temple. A visit to the Gurumandir temple has inspired many a devotee to undertake charitable/religious activities in life.
