Sundari Temple
The Structure of the Tripura
Sundari Temple
According to an inscription
note on the monuments
by the Archaeological
Survey of India, there
are two identical images
of the same deity i.e.
Tripura Sundari, inside
the temple. One is called
'Chhotima' which seems
to be a regional one rising
about 2 feets in height,
while the other 'Tripura
Sundari' is of 5 feet.
It is difficult to date
the image of Chhotima
accurately as it is worn-out.
Moreover the attributes
in her hands are either
too much blurred or lost.
The temple is also known
as 'Kurma Pitha' because
of the shape of the temple
premises appears that
of a 'kurma' i.e. a tortoise.
Inside the temple the
idol of Maa Kali is installed
which is made of 'reddish
black Kasti pathar'. Maa
Kali is worshipped here
in 'Soroshi' form. There
is an idol of a smaller
size of Maa Kali called
'Chotti Maa' which used
to be carried by the Maharajas
of Tripura during "Mrigaya''
(i.e. hunting) and also
during war.
The Temple History
It is known that the
temple was first constructed
by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya
in 1501 A. D. It was
repaired by Maharaja
Rama Manikya in 1681
A D, when it was damaged
by lightning and again
by Maharaja Radhakishore
Manikya during the beginning
of this century. In
the Eastern side of
the temple there is
the famous Kalyan Sagar
where fishes and tortoises
of huge size are found
and devotees feed them
with puffed rice (Muri)
and biscuits. The lake
with High Jet fountain
set in front of the
temple simply adds to
its beauty. No fishing
is permitted in Kalyan
Sagar.
