AGARTALA, Sep 17 (TIWN): As per BJP Govt’s latest plan about Tripura Sundari temple, the temple premise likely to get a lotus shape which was displayed in the Secretariat in the presence of CM Biplab Deb. However, it may take a sensitive term as this temple belong to Tripura culture built by Tripura King Dhanya Manikya in 1501 under Ek-Ratna stature.
There are two similar but different sized black stone idols of the Goddess in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. The larger and more prominent idol of 5 feet height is of Goddess Tripura Sundari and the smaller one, adorably called Chhoto-Ma (literally, Little Mother), is 2 feet tall and is an idol of Goddess Chandi Folklore says that the smaller idol was carried by the kings of Tripura to the battlefield.
Every year on the occasion of Diwali, a famous Mela takes place near the temple which is visited by more than 0.2 million pilgrims.
Indeed there is nothing to add in the Matabari's promotion, which has its own popularity and name across the world. The previous Govts never attempted to change the structure but maintained it time to time.
