Chaturdas Devata Temple

The history of the Chaturdash Devta Temple is intertwined with the history of the Tripura Kingdom. It is believed to have been established in the 15th century by Maharaja Krishna Manikya of the Manikya dynasty. The fourteen deities worshipped here were the principal gods of the Tripuri people. Initially, the temple was located in the old capital of Udaipur, but it was later moved to its present location near Agartala. The construction of the temple reflected the fusion of Bengali and tribal architectural styles, symbolizing the cultural synthesis of the region. Over the centuries, the temple has served as a center of religious and social life, and has played a crucial role in preserving the traditions and customs of the Tripuri community. The annual Kharchi Puja festival is a testament to the temple's enduring significance.
