Maa Tripura Sundari Temple, also known as Matabari Temple, is located in Udaipur in the Gomati district of Tripura. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas and is dedicated to Goddess Tripura Sundari, also revered as Shodashi or Lalita. According to legend, the right foot of Goddess Sati fell at this place, making it a powerful center of Shakti worship. The present temple structure is believed to have been built around 1501 CE by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya. The temple stands on a small hillock shaped like the back of a tortoise, which is why it is also called a Kurma Peetha.
