Chaturdasha Devata Temple
চতুর্দশ দেবতা মন্দির
A royal temple in Old Agartala dedicated to fourteen guardian deities of Tripura. A grand Kharchi Puja is held here every year.
The Chaturdasha Devata Temple is in Old Agartala, near Khayerpur, about 7 km from the city center. It was the former capital before the royal court moved in the 18th century. The temple enshrines fourteen deities worshipped by Tripura tribal communities and the royal family. The images are presented only as heads, which is very distinctive.
Every July, the week-long Kharchi Puja attracts large numbers of tribal devotees, with markets and singing and dancing. It is quiet on ordinary days and can be reached by taxi or e-rickshaw.
