Ujjayanta Palace lies in Agartala of Tripura, 1 km from the centre and 10 km from the airport — the royal palace of the region, its 1901-era building, the museum halls and the gardens set on the Agartala plain.

History & culture

The palace's story runs with the 1901 building era — the royal palace of the 1901-era building and the 19th-century-era Manikya rule of the Tripura kings, with the palace's modern role as the museum of the Agartala circuit and the home of the 1901-era-era halls and the royal rooms and the 2013-era museum life; the palace's history of the 2011-era museum opening and the garden paths, gives Ujjayanta its royal character.
