Because of her dedication, she is believed to have gained <strong>miraculous powers<\/strong>. Every year, her followers honor her on <strong>Dattatreya Jayanti<\/strong>, singing <strong>bhajans<\/strong> (devotional songs) and holding <strong>lanterns<\/strong> that light up the night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rishi Munis<\/strong> (sages) in India traditionally live in <strong>ashrams<\/strong>\u2014simple shelters where they practice <strong>sadhana<\/strong> (focused spiritual practices) to seek <strong>enlightenment<\/strong>.

The stories say that Mata Anusuya, using her magic powers, turned the &#8216;Trimurti&#8217; (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) into babies and made them play in a cradle.<\/p>\n<p>Later, after lots of prayers, she turned the Trimurti back to their original forms, and it was here that the three-faced Dattatreya was born. Since then, people come here hoping to have kids.<\/p>\n<h3>Anusuya Devi Trek<\/h3>\n<p>Anusuya Devi Trek is a 6 km trek from Mandal village.
