BISRAMGANJ / KAMALASAGAR, Aug 21 (TIWN): A two day long 'Bhadra-Mela' has begun at Kamalasagar Kali Temple at Kasba that was built on a hill-top by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya in the late 15th century.

Tourism Minister Ratan Bhowmik had inaugurated the fair on Sunday evening. Centering the fair devotees have thronged to the temple since yesterday.

 It is situated just beside the Bangladesh border, the lake in front of this temple rightly enhances its beauty.

The large ‘Kamala Sagar’ lake dug by king Dhanya Manikya (1490-1520) and the two wavy blue water lakes in front of the ‘Ujjayanta palace’, abode of Tripura’s erstwhile princely rulers in the heart of capital Agartala will form inevitable itinerary of trourists fond of waterscape.

 Princely Tripura’s erstwhile capital and present headquarter of south Tripura District, Udaipur is also known as a ‘lake-town’ because of the surfeit of large lakes, dug by different princely rulers, that dot the town. These lakes coupled with the river Gomati that flows by Udaipur will enthuse tourists to have a pleasant outing.
