Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated the redeveloped Tripureswari temple in Tripura's Gomati district and offered prayers at the shrine.
Governor N Indrasena Reddy, Chief Minister Manik Saha, and senior government officials were present at the programme.
Amid sweltering heat, thousands of people gathered outside the temple to catch a glimpse of the PM.
The over 500-year-old temple, one of the 51 'Shakti Peethas', has been redeveloped under the Centre's PRASAD (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive) scheme at Rs 52 crore.
