Gunabati Group of Temples

The Archaeological Survey of India records the group as three brick-built temples lying adjacent to each other at the ancient capital of Tripura. The northern shrine is square on plan and attached to a small mukhamandapa, and the other two are similar in plan and architectural features. All three temples are covered by chalas carrying unique votive stupa-like finials, a crowning form borrowed from Buddhist building.

Tripura Tourism states that the architecture resembles other contemporary temples of Tripura, except that the topmost parts here stand without stupa. Five concentric moulded lines decorate the walls just below the cornice, and the horizontal corbelled ribs project in a sharp angular profile. The eaves of the char-chala roof here droop more than those on most Tripura temples, a detail the architectural literature singles out.

An amalaka disc sits over the anda, and above it a solid spherical cube with angular ridges all around can be seen.
