Tripura Tourism to Construct Replicas of 51 Shaktipeeths

Agartala, September 9, 2019:

The Tripura government has decided to construct 51 temples, which would be replicas of the 51 Shaktipeeths, and has also started a helicopter service to Devatamura and Unnakoti hills, famous for huge-rock cut sculptures.

The state govt has already allocated 14.22 acres of land for construction of replicas of Shaktipeeths at Fulkumari in Gomati district, about 3-km away from the Tripureswari temple, a famous temple, and one of the 51 Shaktipeeths.

"There are 51 Shaktipeeths. Of the 51 Shaktipeeths, 38 are in India, 6 in Bangladesh, 3 in Nepal,2 in Pakistan and 1 each in Tibet and in Sri Lanka. For common people, it is not possible to visit all the 51 Shaktipeeths. So, the Tripura Tourism department has decided to construct the exact replicas of the Shaktipeeths near Tripureswari temple at Udaipur".

The Tourism department has prepared a preliminary project report of Rs 44 crore for construction of the replicas of the 51 Shaktipeeths and has sent the proposal to the 15th Finance Commission for consideration for funding the project.

The state Tourism department has also started a helicopter service for tourists to get an aerial view of rock-cut carvings at Devatamura in Gomati district and Unakoti at Unakoti district.
