History Of Chobimura

Amarpur, Tripura, India
Chobimura, also known as Chabimura, is a breathtaking archaeological site located on the banks of the Gomati River in Tripura. The name literally translates to "Hill of Pictures." It is world-famous for its massive rock-cut carvings of Hindu deities etched into the steep, vertical walls of the Devt amura hill range. These carvings date back to the 15th and 16th Centuries and depict various gods and goddesses, including Shiva, Vishnu, Kartika, and the most famous of all—Mahisasura Mardini Durga, locally known as Chakrak Ma. The site is often referred to as the "Amazon of Tripura" because reaching the carvings requires a boat ride through a dense, lush green jungle gorge that looks remarkably similar to the rainforests of South America. The river here is calm and flanked by towering cliffs covered in thick vegetation and bamboo groves. As you glide along the water, the sheer scale of the rock panels becomes apparent, with some carvings standing over 13 meters high. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, especially considering the difficult terrain where these artists worked hundreds of years ago. The atmosphere is mystical and quiet, broken only by the sound of the river and distant bird calls. Chobimura is not just an archaeological site but a spiritual journey into the heart of Tripura's tribal and royal history. It remains one of the most significant offbeat destinations in Northeast India, offering a blend of adventure, spirituality, and natural beauty. The site has recently gained more popularity due to improved accessibility, but it still retains its untouched, wild charm.
