Tripura Sundari Temple
ত্রিপুরা সুন্দরী মন্দির
A five-century-old temple in Udaipur, one of India's 51 Shakti Peethas, with a Bengal-style temple on a tortoise-shaped hill.
Tripura Sundari Temple is located in Udaipur, the former capital, about 55 kilometres from Agartala. It was built in 1501 by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, the sacred sites of the Shakti tradition in Hinduism. The hill it sits on resembles a tortoise's back, so it is also known as 'Kurmapitha.'
The square temple has a Bengal-style curved roof. In the Kalyansagar Lake in front of the temple, there are many catfish and turtles. A grand fair is held during Diwali.
Shoes must be removed before entering, and devotees often queue to make offerings. You can combine your visit with the nearby Bhubaneshwari Temple.
