Ujjayanta Palace, Tripura Sundari Temple
Begin your day with scrumptious meals featuring a zesty influence of Bengali and tribal influences with signature dishes like Hilsa fish, bamboo shots, Wahan, and Pithas. After taking your fill, head straight to Ujjayanta Palace, the royal palace of Tripura. An exemplary depiction of Indo-Saracenic architecture, the aesthetically landscaped gardens with flowerbeds and fountains are a gateway to a confluence of Mughal architecture converging with European influences. The three-domed structure with intricate details and pale pink interiors will leave you captivated.
After viewing the museum exhibits at the palace, head next to the Tripura Sundari Temple. It is quaintly located on the outskirts of Agartala. Revered as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas in Hindu mythology, the temple is situated atop Tripura Sundari Tilla overlooking the serene waters of Rudrasagar Lake. The Bengali architecture in a distinctive red and white colour scheme combines with the beauty of spires, ornate carvings, and artistic heritage of the temple to make it a picturesque marvel.
