The Chaturdasha Temple or fourteen gods and goddesses temple is located just about 8 KM away from the capital city of Tripura, Agartala. The name literally suggests the abode of fourteen or 14 deities. The fourteen deities worshipped at the Chaturdasha temple Tripura are called Burasa, Lampra, Bikhatra, Akhatra, Thumnairok, Sangroma, Bonirok, Twima, Songram, Mwtaikotor, Mailuma, Noksumwtai, Swkalmwtai and Khuluma in Kokborok. These deities are the local forms of Hindu Gods and Goddesses who are Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, Kartikeya, Saraswati, Ganesha, Samudra, Prithvi, Agni, Ganga, Himadri and Kamadeva respectively. The specialty of the Chaturdasha Temple is that it was built by the Manikya Dynasty King, Maharaja Debbarma Manikya during his reign in the early day of the Manikya Kingdome. There is a lake beside the temple and overall it is a very beautiful place. During the month of July every year a Kharchi festival is organised and thousands of pilgrims and devotees visit this festival. It is a local saying that one who visits Tripura Fourteen Goddess Temple once comes in Agartala fourteen times more.
