Kalyansagar Ghat

Udaipur, Tripura, India
Place Details: Kalyansagar Ghat is the expansive landing area of the massive Kalyan Sagar lake, situated on the eastern side of the Tripura Sundari Temple in Matabari. This lake was excavated by Maharaja Kalyan Manikya in 1501 AD, making it over five centuries old. It is not just a water body but a sacred ecosystem home to the rare Bostami turtles, which are considered incarnations of the divine. Devotees visit the ghat to perform ritual ablutions before entering the main shrine. The atmosphere is filled with the scent of incense and the sound of bells. The lake covers an area of about 5 acres and is framed by lush greenery. It represents the perfect harmony between nature and spirituality in Tripura.
