Puranic Significance

The Lakshmi Narayan Temple was established within the Ujjayanta Palace grounds in the city of Agartala.
It was founded by the King of Tripura, Birendra Kishore Manikya, during his reign from 1909 to 1923.
The idol of Lord Krishna, which is now enshrined in the temple’s sanctum sanctorum, was consecrated around 45 years ago by Krishnananda Sevayet.

A notable feature of the temple’s surroundings is a Tamal Tree that was planted by the Sevayet (caretaker) approximately 35 years ago.

The Lakshmi Narayan Temple not only serves as a place of worship but also holds historical and cultural significance within the Ujjayanta Palace complex. It’s a place where visitors can experience both spirituality and the architectural beauty of the temple.
