History & significance
Built in 1760 by King Krishna Manikya when the Tripura capital moved to Agartala, this temple enshrines the royal house's fourteen deities and is the focus of the Kharchi puja. Its dome copies the roof form of Tripuri village huts and is topped by a stupa-like finial suggesting Buddhist influence.
