Kamalasagar Lake & Kali Temple
কমলাসাগর
A large lake close to the Bangladesh border, where the Kali Temple on a hill beside the lake overlooks the Bangladeshi countryside across the water.
Kamalasagar is a large lake excavated in the 16th century by a Tripura king for his queen, Kamala. It lies about 27 km from Agartala. On the far side of the lake are the Bangladesh border fence and rural fields. The Kasba Kali Temple on a small hill beside the lake dates to the 16th century. It is popular with worshippers and offers views over the lake and the far bank. A market is held in August.
Admission is free. The site suits a half-day trip and can be combined with Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary. Please follow border regulations when taking photographs near the border.
