I came across the videos of Datta Kshetras. These videos are made by the
devotees of Sri Vasudevananda Saraswati Swami (Sri Vasudevananda
Saraswati Tembe Swami Maharaj Bhakta Parivar). Here is the link to the play-list:
I
like these videos very much; I think they prepared these videos by
strictly adhering to the Guru Charitra; they covered various aspects
like: how to reach to those kshetras, what are the things to visit
there, timings, special occasions, corresponding stories from Guru
Charitra, beautiful and absorbing Bhajans & stotras written by Sri
Tembe Swami, Narahari etc. Although the commentary is in Marathi, it
won't be that difficult to guess (more or less!) as they have used
pictorial illustrations and also because most of us are familiar with
those leelas in Guru Charitra...
Mentioning below the Kshetras that they covered (in the same order), some brief incomplete notes for quick reference, and also links to description of those places given by Master garu in "శ్రీ దత్తావతార మహత్యం" book:
