Ujjayanta Palace
উজ্জয়ন্ত প্রাসাদ
A white royal palace completed in 1901, with three domes reflected in the lake in front; it is now the Tripura State Museum.
Ujjayanta Palace was completed in 1901 by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya of the princely state of Tripura. It blends Mughal and European styles, with a white main building crowned by three domes. In front are symmetrical gardens, fountains and two palace lakes. Tagore once named the palace.
Since 2013 it has served as a state museum, displaying costumes, handicrafts, royal artefacts and coins from the tribes of Northeast India.
The museum is closed on Mondays. Admission costs a few dozen rupees, and photography costs extra. The evening lighting and fountain shows are very popular.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun approx. 10:00–17:00; closed Mondays
