Ujjayanta
Palace |
| This royal house, which

city Agartala covering
one sq.Km. area was built
by Maharaja Radha Kishore
Manikya during 1899-1901.It
is a two storied mansion,
having a mixed type of
architecture with three
high domes, the central
one being 86’ high.

curved wooden ceiling
and beautifully crafted
doors are particularly
notable. The palace is
set with huge Mughal style
gardens, beautified by
pools and gardens and
tiled floors. Flood lighting
and fountains have also
added to its beauty. |
Kunjaban
Palace |
| A green hillock known
as Kunjaban ( a bower)
for its scenic beauty
stands to the north of
Ujjayanta palace at a
distance of about 1 Km.
Maharaja Birendra Kishore
Manikya (1909-1923) selected
this beautiful place for
building a suburban palace
for retreat and constructed
a palace in 1917 which
was named as ‘Pushbanta
Palace’. The Maharaja
himself being gifted artist
is said to have drawn
the plan of the palace
and its adjoining garden.
Poet Rabindranath Tagore
stayed in the eastern
apartment of this palace
during his 7th and last
visit to the state in
1926. This palace was
the mute witness to
many of the great poet's
creations including
a number of popular
songs. There are well
laid gardens and lawns
inside the palace which
is the official residence
of the Governor of Tripura
now. The southern side
of the garden has been
made open for the public
and has been named as
‘Rabindra Kanan’.
|
Malancha
Niwas |
| The Bungalow adjacent
to Kunjaban palace situated
on a hillock was originally
a kaccha house where Tagore
stayed during his visit
in 1919. The pucca construction
was subsequently built
and given the name of
Malancha Niwas. |
Unakoti |
| It is Shaiba pilgrimage
and dates back to 7th
– 9th centuries
if not earlier. The marvelous
rock carvings, murals
with their primitive beauty,
waterfalls are not to
be missed. Unakoti means
one less than a crore
and it is said that these
many rock cut carvings
are available here. As
per Hindu mythology, when
Lord Shiva was going to
Kashi along with one crore
gods and goddesses he
made a night halt at this
location. He asked all
the gods and goddesses
to wake up before sun
rise and proceed for Kashi.
It is said that in the
morning, except Shiva
himself, no one else could
get up so set out for
Kashi himself cursing
the others to become stone
images as a result we
have one less than a crore
stone images and carvings
at Unakoti.These carvings
are located at a beautifully
landscaped forest area
with green vegetation
all around which add to
the beauty of the carvings.
The images found at
Unakoti are of two types
namely rock-carved figures
and stone images. Among
the rock cut carvings,
the central Shiva head
and gigantic Ganesha
figures deserve special
mention. The central
Shiva head known as
‘Unakotiswara
Kal Bhairava’
is about 30 feet high
including an embroidered
head-dress which itself
is 10 feet high. On
each side of the head-dress
of the central Shiva,
there are two full size
female figures - one
of Durga standing on
a lion and another female
figure on the other
side. In addition three
enormous images of Nandi
Bull are found half
buried in the ground.
There are various other
stone as well as rock
cut images at Unakoti.
Every year a big fair
popularly known as ‘Ashokastami
Mela’ is held
in the month of April
which is visited by
thousands of pilgrims. |
Pilak |
| Treasure house of Hindu
and Buddhist Sculpture.
It dates back to 8th and
9th centuries. Beautiful
images scattered in an
area of about 10 Sq.Km.
have been found. The images,
terracotta plaques and
sealing found here reflect
survival of heterodox
creeds and sects representing
both Hinduism and Buddhism.
Colossal stone images
of Avolokiteshwar and
Narasimha have been found
here. |
Jampui
Hills |
| Jampui Hills is located
at an altitude of approximately
1000 metres. It is an
interesting place to visit.
The summit of the Jampui
Hills commands a breathtaking
natural view of the towns
nearby. It is in North
Tripura district. The
Jampui Hills can be
accessed by road from
Dharmanagar and Kailashahar.
Orange plantations of
Jampui Hills are very
famous throughout India.

the Orange Festival
is held. The people
here are predominantly
Lushais and Reangs. |
Orange Festival |
| During November every
year, the unique Orange
& Tourism festival
is celebrated in the Jampui
hill. A large number of
tourists, both domestic
and foreign, participate
and enjoy this festival.
The rainy season is no
less charming. During
this season the hill is
covered with floating
clouds and it provides
a rare experience for
the tourists. The formation
of clouds at the bottom
of the hill range and
its gradual ascendance
from the bottom to the
top slowly engulfing the
whole hill range in its
mystic lap is an experience
to treasure. |
