Dattatreya, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva (Trimurti), Anasuya and Atri

Dattatreya is honoured as the Adi Guru, in whom Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are united, born to sage Atri and the devoted Anasuya. His Jayanti is celebrated at dusk on Margashirsha Purnima with a cradle ceremony like a birth, aarti and reading of the Guru Charitra, asking for the Guru's grace, wisdom and freedom from worldly bondage.
