Devtamura (Chabimura)

Devtamura, also spelt Debtamura, is a range of hills in South Tripura, lying between Udaipur and Amarpur on the Gomati River. Its slopes hold Chabimura, an archaeological site of rock carvings dated to the 15th or 16th century. Some 37 images have been cut into the steep rock faces of the Kalajhari Hills, among them Durga, Mahishasuramardini, Ganesha and Kartikeya, along with a colossal figure of Devi Chakrakma. Nobody knows who carved them or why.

The range is about 85 km long and rises to 229 m, and Damburu Falls begins near its top, descending in a series of terraces. The site is reached by boat, a journey of about three hours, and lies roughly 75 km from Agartala. Every year in mid-January a fair is held at the third terrace below the top of the falls, when tribal communities bathe in the Gomati.
