This grand building to date continues to make Tripura proud because of its architectural magnanimity and is heavily influenced by the Islamic style of edifices.

This regal temple is orange in colour with an octagonal base and square and pyramidal cones crown the pillars of the temple. The impression of the 'Pradhkshin Patha' that is around the sanctum deserves a special mention since it further adds to the beauty of this temple, which is rightly considered to be the national heritage of the capital of Tripura. There is a beautiful small lake in the temple complex.
