Devotees pack some rice in a cloth and dedicate it to Lord Ganesha, wishing that the enterprises they take up should succeed without obstacles and failures. This pack of rice is called ‘Mudupu’ in Telugu. At the end of the designated period the devotees offer the mudupu to the deity of Lord Ganesha, at the south of the entrance of Sri Datta shrine.

On auspicious occasions, during festivals and when the devotees request, Abhishekam is performed to Sri Dattatreya with oil (taila), milk (ksheera) or water (jala).

Every Saturday, devotees can light lamps to propitiate Sani (the planet Saturn). Sri Swamiji averred that those who suffer from various afflictions and malefic effects of Sani light these lamps and receive the blessings of Karya Sidhdhi Hanuman and benevolence of Sani in getting their obstacles removed. This facility is available for devotees from morning till night 8:00 pm on every Saturday.

Every day, a certain time is designated as the time of Rahu � one of the nine grahas (planets) as per Vedic Indian Astrology. To propitiate Rahu at this time, a deepam (lamp) is lighted. Following Sri Swamiji�s word, the Ashrama is facilitating lighting of Rahu Kala Deepa every Sunday between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm. Devotees had been making use of this facility to propitiate Rahu.
