Ujjayanta Palace

Ujjayanta Palace

About this place

Agartala is Tripura’s cultural capital, and this grand white palace is its most iconic landmark. Set amid landscaped grounds, domes, and heritage architecture, the complex feels like a “living museum” where you can experience royal-era elegance along with Tripura’s identity—tribal art, local traditions, and the Northeast’s cultural storytelling. It’s also a perfect starting point for exploring city attractions like prominent temples and the central shopping hub at Agartala City Centre for modern cafés and stores.

History & highlights

Ujjayanta Palace was built by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya around 1901 and became a symbol of the Manikya dynasty’s power and taste. Over time it moved from being a royal residence to serving civic functions (including hosting the State Legislative Assembly until 2011), and later evolved as a major museum and heritage monument—preserving the memory of Tripura’s princely past while presenting the region’s art and culture to today’s visitors.
