Agartala

Agartala, the capital of the eastern Indian state of Tripura, is a laid back administrative centre very reminiscent of towns in Bangladesh, just 2km away. Its main monument of interest is the gleaming white Ujjayanta Palace, completed in 1901. Set amid formal gardens and artificial lakes, this huge building, whose main block now houses the State Legislative Assembly, covers an area of around 800 acres. One of the many temples located within its grounds, the Jaganath temple, an orange tower rising from an octagonal plinth, is open to the public. Other temples of interest include Umamaheswar temple directly opposite Jaganath across the Palace gardens, and the Buddhist Venuban Vihar. The rather unusual Gedu Mian Mosque near the Motor Stand is encrusted with a mosaic of crockery pieces.

The city of Agartala is vastly enriched with flora & fauna. The state of Tripura provides an exotic world that is full of suspense. Agartala is the capital of Tripura and climbed on the ladders of being known as one of the prominet states in Tripura only after Maharaja Krishna Manikya made Agartala his capital. This state of Tripura is surrounded on north, west and south by Bangladesh and on the east by the state of Mizoram, and on the northeast by the state of Assam. Agartala, offers a lot of various activies for the tourists with beautiful palaces, gardens, hills, temples and lakes, all this and much more is what attracts tourists to visit this city over and over again.
