Chabimura or Devtamura (Bengali: ছবিমুড়া / দেবতামুড়া) is a hill range in South Tripura district of Tripura, India. It is known for an archaeological site of rock sculptures, a panel of 37 rock cut images of Hindu deities of Shiva, Vishnu, Kartika, Mahisasura Mardini Durga and other Gods and Goddesses; on steep mountain walls on the bank of Gomati River.

The stone images are estimated to have curved during the 15/16th century. The biggest idol of Maa Durga in rock carvings is about 20 feet high.

It is situated on the bank of Gomati river at Haakwchak or Haakchak, Amarpur subdivision under Gomati district, 82 km away from main city and capital Agartala, Tripura, INDIA, 30 km away from Udaipur and 7.5 km away from Amarpur.

Beautiful images are curved with a lot of dexterity on the rocky faces of Devtamura which is steep at 90 degrees. The hill ranges are covered with thick jungles and one can reach this abode of gods only after trekking through these jungles for 15 -20 minutes.

The purpose of the carvings, and the artists who carved them are unknown. The statues are carved on the steep sloping rock exposures of the Kalajhari Hills which drains into the Gomati River.
