A newly constructed temple dedicated to Goddess Tripura Sundari in Tripura's Mohanpur block is set to be consecrated on April 21, with the Prana Pratishtha and Kumbha Abhishekam ceremony coinciding with Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti.
The Maa Chinmayi Soundarya Temple, located at Fakira Mura in Mohanpur, is expected to draw several prominent national dignitaries for the occasion.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Tripura Lieutenant Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and former Tripura Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma are among those expected to be present.
Amit Rakshit, president of the Chinmaya Seva Trust under Chinmaya Mission International, said the participation of these figures would add to the significance of the occasion.
The temple has been constructed with 27 black stone pillars sourced from Tamil Nadu, each representing one of the 27 Nakshatras in Hindu astrology.
In a design choice that sets it apart, the structure has been built without a conventional roof — reflecting what its creators describe as an open, unmediated connection with the divine.
At the centre of the temple stands a 15-foot black stone idol of Goddess Tripura Sundari. A smaller idol, inspired by the revered Tripura Sundari Temple, has also been installed for use in daily rituals.
The premises feature detailed carvings and inscriptions drawn from the Saundarya Lahari and other devotional scriptures.
A notable feature of the consecration ceremony will be the distribution of Nakshatra-based prasad, prepared using sacred Bel trees.
The rituals will be conducted by priests from Nepal, who were selected through what the trust described as a rigorous process.
Beyond the religious ceremony, the Chinmaya Seva Trust has outlined plans for broader community work. Rakshit said the trust intends to provide free, value-based education to students from more than 10,000 underprivileged families in the region.
