The Kamalasagar Kali Temple, also known as Kasbeswari Kali Mata or Kasba Kali Bari, is a revered Hindu shrine located in the village of Kasba, approximately 27 km from Agartala, the capital of Tripura, India. Perched atop a hillock overlooking the picturesque Kamalasagar Lake, the temple offers serene views of the surrounding landscape.
The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali and features an idol resembling Dasabhuja Durga or Mahishasurmardini, carved from sandstone. Despite its Durga-like appearance, the deity is worshipped as Maa Kali. A Shivalinga is also present at the feet of the idol, adding to the temple's spiritual significance.
The adjacent Kamalasagar Lake, also known as Kamala Sagar, was excavated by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya during his reign from 1490 to 1520. This expansive lake enhances the temple's beauty and serves as a popular spot for picnics and relaxation.
