Gunabati Group of Temples

Gunabati Group of Temples is a group of three stone temples located at Gunabati in Udaipur, Gomati District, Tripura. Built in 1668 by Maharaja Govinda Manikya in the name of his wife Gunabati, the temples are protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Known for their distinctive curvilinear spires, stone inscriptions and brick masonry, they represent classic Tripura temple architecture and are an important heritage and pilgrimage site near Udaipur.

Visitors can expect a compact temple compound containing three closely spaced temples with curvilinear shikhara-style spires, stone and brick construction, and carved details. The central temple is larger than the two flanking shrines. The site is set in a quiet, open area in Gunabati village near Udaipur, with a courtyard, stone inscription slab, and simple landscaped surroundings. Visitors can walk around the temples, view exterior architecture, and observe worship activities in a calm, historic setting.

The Gunabati Group of Temples was constructed in 1668 AD (Saka 1590) by Maharaja Govinda Manikya, a prominent ruler of the Manikya dynasty of Tripura, in honour of his wife Maharani Gunabati. A stone inscription found at the site records the date and patronage. The three temples exemplify the temple architecture developed under the Manikyas and are maintained as a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India.

The temples are Hindu religious structures and form part of Udaipur's historic temple town heritage, which includes several important shrines from the Manikya period. They are visited by pilgrims and heritage tourists for their religious association, architectural style and historical connection to Tripura's royal patronage of temple building.
