In this paper,we have found the equations of motion of Generalized Photogravitational restricted three body problem with Poynting-Robertson drag. The problem is generalized in the sense that smaller primary is supposed to be an oblate spheroid. The bigger primary is considered as radiating. The equations of motion are affected by radiation pressure force oblateness and P-R drag. We have located triangular equilibrium points in our problem. All classical results involving photogravitational and oblateness in restricted three body problem may be verified from this result.
