Kunjaban Palace

The green Kunjaban Hillock presents a very magnificent and beautiful piece to wonder – the Kunjaban Palace. It is situated in Agartala – the capital city of Tripura just at a distant of 1 Km to the north of the former royal palace, Ujjayanta which is a nearby attraction. Earlier known as the 'Pushbanta Palace' it was built by Emperor Birendra Kishor Manikya in 1917, which chose this place as a treat to the Tripurians.

The awesome landscape of the lush green grass, green gardens, orchards and little zoo in the surrounding region is a good place to relax and admire the beauty of the nature away from the rush of the cities.

The elegant and peaceful surroundings of the place have attracted many poets and inspired them to write great poems. One such recognized and renowned Indian poet is Rabindranath Tagore. The splendid palace is currently the abode of the Governor of Tripura but the southern part of it open for the local public to experience the peace and natural beauty of Tripura. One can spend cherished moments in the exquisite gardens of the palace.

The interior of the castle is worth seeing; the Gol verandah has seen many great poets writing numerous songs and poems. Today such great masterpieces are a glory of pride to the palace.
