Ummaneshwar Temple

Location

The Ujjayanta Palace milieu houses various temples revered by the populace. The temples of Jagganath and Ummaneshwar are located opposite to each other on the green stretches of grass within the Palace yard. Culturally and geographically Tripura identifies itself more with West Bengal, than the other North East states. Thus it is common to find Gods, Goddess and temples resembling each other in these two states. The Jagannath and the Ummaneshwar temple are both Orange in colour (actually saffron mix of orange) and stand out against the lush green lawns and perfectly white backdrop of the Palace.
