Here’s a **history and overview of the Sri Dattatreya Swamy Temple located at Sitarambagh (Seetharam Bagh) in Hyderabad, Telangana, India — often referred to locally as the Dattatreya Temple on Dattatreya Pahad (hill)

🛕 Sri Dattatreya Swamy Temple, Sitarambagh – History & Significance
Location: Sitarambagh (also spelled Seetharam Bagh), Mangalhat / Asif Nagar area, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

📜 Historical Background
The Sitaram Bagh area has a long heritage as part of old Hyderabad. While the Sitaram Bagh Temple itself is historically known primarily for Lord Rama and Sita and dates from the early 19th century (built around 1825–1833) by the Ganeriwala family, bankers of the Nizams, the Sri Dattatreya Swamy shrine on the hill (Pahad) is believed locally to be much older, with devotees saying it has 500-plus years of history.
Sri Dattatreya Swamy’s idol inside the hill temple is believed to be Swayambhu — meaning self-manifested (not installed by humans), according to local devotional sources and community belief.
The temple is commonly called the Dattatreya Pahad Temple (Hill Temple), because it stands atop a small hillock or elevated area near Asif Nagar / Masab Tank in Hyderabad.
The footpathway to the shrine has about 215 steps, and the location is described as a place where sages or siddhas are said to have meditated, making it a punya sthal (holy place) for devotees.

🛕 Temple Deities and Structure
The main shrine is dedicated to Lord Dattatreya Swamy, a revered deity in Hinduism symbolizing the divine trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in one form.

Within the complex, devotees also worship Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy (Shiva), Lord Hanuman, Naga Devatha (Serpent Goddess), and the Navagrahas (nine planetary deities), especially during special pujas.

📅 Festivals and Beliefs

Major festivals such as Guru Purnima and Datta Jayanti (Dattatreya’s appearance day) are celebrated with deep devotion by devotees who visit the temple in large numbers.
Many devotees believe that sincere worship here can bring spiritual merit and fulfillment of wishes, especially if done consistently or with vows.

📌 Cultural Context
The Sitaram Bagh Temple complex itself (the part dedicated to Sita and Rama with other deities) was constructed in the 19th century (1825–1833) by Puranmal Ganeriwala, a banker in the service of the ruling Nizams, and is a heritage monument recognized for its architectural fusion of various styles.
While Sitaram Bagh Temple is historic as a Rama–Sita temple, the Dattatreya Swamy shrine on the hill is part of local religious tradition and devotion, with accounts on the internet and devotional channels claiming the site to be much older — though formal historical documentation about the temple’s early period is not as widely published as the main Sitaram Bagh Temple’s history.
