Discover A Forgotten Kingdom

Tripura

The erstwhile kingdom of Tripura left many architectural delights in the form of royal palaces that remain far from the madding crowd. Neermahal, one such water palace in red-white stone, lies forgotten on the Rudrasagar Lake. Built by fusing both, Mughal and Hindu styles of design, the palace is as elegant as its more popular peers of Udaipur. Closer to the capital, the Ujjayanta Palace has been converted into a state museum showcasing the rich history of the erstwhile kingdom. Wrapped in myth and legend is the sacred site of Unakoti in the hilly terrain of Tripura. It is known for rockcarved figures and bas-reliefs dating back to the seventh century.
