  • 01Kamaleswari Mandir

    Kamaleswari Mandir

    Kamaleshwari Mandir is a temple dedicated to Goddess Kali. It is situated in the largest sub-divisional town of Tripura called Kamalpur. The town is about 35 kilometres away from Ambassa, the district headquarters of Dhalai. Kamaleshwari Mandir is located 122 kilometres from Agartala.

    Kamaleshwari is another name for Goddess Kali and hence, the temple is so named. The town of Kamalpur is named after the temple too. The temple is frequented by worshippers throughout the year. However, the ideal time to visit the Kamaleshwari Mandir is during the months of September and May, the reason being that rainfall subsides and makes the temple easily accessible.

    Tourists can reach the temple directly from Agartala by travelling on hired taxis. Buses can also be taken up to Ambassa and thereafter, to Kamalpur. Kamalpur doesn’t have any railway station and the nearest railhead is in Agartala. The nearest airport is also in Agartala.

    Longtharai Mandir

    The Longtharai Mandir is the most revered temple in the Dhalai district. Longtharai is the Kokborok name of Lord Shiva. The temple lies about 102 kilometres away from Agartala.

    It is believed that while Lord Shiva was travelling from Mount Kailash, his home, he rested in this area. Since he is believed to have stepped foot here, this area became famous and a temple was soon constructed. Today the temple and the adjoining hill area are highly regarded and people from all over visit the Longtharai Mandir.

    The word Longtharai also has another meaning—deep valley. Khumpi is a local flower that blooms on the roadside leading to the temple. Not only is the temple a pious place, but the area around the temple is worth a visit too. The enchanting natural beauty that seems to be tucked away from the world of commercialisation and rat race is definitely a must visit.
