Description: Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Avadhoota Datta Peetham is a remarkable place in the quiet city of Mysore. For over the past four decades, this centre has been rendering excellent spiritual propagation, throughout the world under the direction of the pontiff Sri Sri Sri Ganapati Sachidananda Swamiji. The very mention of Datta Peetham reminds us of the Lord Dattatreya. A unique palm shaped musical auditorium which is aptly named as "Nada Mantapa" (hall of musical tones) is an architectural marvel of the Avadhoota Datta Peetham. The cancellation depicts 'Nada Mantapa', auditorium.
