Tripura Sundari Temple, Jabalpur

Tripura Sundari Temple is located in Tewar village on Bhedaghat road around 13 km from the centre of the city Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. One of the main attractions of Jabalpur, Tripura Sundari Temple is considered as sacred and is an important place of worship in the city. Built in the 11th century, it is believed that the idol housed in the temple emerged from the ground.

Tripura literally means three cities and sundari means beautiful ladies; hence, the popular inference that is accepted as the meaning of the temple is beautiful goddess of the three cities.

However, the triple form of the goddess, as found in the doctrine of Shaktism, is said to be the actual interpretation and symbolises the might and strength of the female goddess.

This temple is flocked by thousand round the year especially during the ten days of Durga Puja or Dussehra festival. Holy saints and religious gurus find the Tripura Sundari Temple an enchanting temple beyond words.
