Its
an
amazing
museum.
Agartala’s
most
attractive
place.
The
Ujjayanta
Palace
also
known
as
“Nuyungma”
is
the
former
royal
palace
of
Tripura
kingdom.
And
the
name
was
given
by
Nobel
laureate
Rabindranath
Tagore.
The
palace
was
constructed
between
1899
and
1901.
It
housed
the
state
legislative
assembly
up
to
2011.
At
present,
it
is
the
state
museum
of
Tripura,
and
located
in
the
capital
Agartala.
It
primarily
showcases
the
lifestyle,
arts,
culture,
tradition
and
utility

of
communities
residing
in
northeast
India,
along
with
a
lot
of
stone
sculptures,
coinage
of
the
Manikya
dynasty
and
some
other
artefacts.
The
Ujjayanta
Palace

covers
an
area
of
approximately
1 km2
(250
acres)
and
includes
public
rooms
such
as
the

room,
Darbar
hall,
library
and
reception
hall.
The
buildings
and
grounds
cover
800
acres
in
the
heart
of
Agartala.
The
two-storied
palace
has
three
large
domes,
the
largest
of
which
is
86 ft
high,
and
which
rests
atop
a
four-storied
central
tower.
The
architecture
shows
a
mix
of
influences:
Mughal,
Roman
and
British.
There
are
two
large
artificial
ponds
on
either
side
of
