RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in Agartala on April 20 to attend the Prana Pratishtha and Kumbha Abhishekam ceremony of the Maa Chinmayi Soundarya Temple at Fakira Mura, Mohanpur, scheduled for April 21, coinciding with Aadi Shankaracharya Jayanti.

He was welcomed at MBB Airport by Amit Rakshit, President of Chinmaya Seva Trust. The event is expected to be attended by several dignitaries, including Maharashtra Governor Jishnu Dev Varma, Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu, and Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha.

The temple, dedicated to Maa Tripura Sundari, is a major spiritual landmark featuring 27 black stone pillars from Tamil Nadu symbolizing the 27 Nakshatras. It has no conventional roof, representing an open connection with divinity. The sanctum houses a 15-foot black stone idol of the goddess along with a smaller idol used for daily worship, and includes detailed inscriptions of Devi hymns and scriptures.
