Description:
Once the home of the royalties, the Ujjayanta palace now houses the legislative assembly of the state. The name Ujjayanta was denoted to this beautiful and striking architecture by the great poet Rabindranath Tagore who had a close association with the royal family of Tripura. Built by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya during 1899-1901, the construction of this Indo Saracenic architecture was supervised by Martin and Burn Company. It is famous for its Chinese room and the ponds and the fountains around only add to the beauty of the building. The Kunjban palace and the Malancha Niwas are the other two royal properties which were built by the Manikya dynasty and are associated with the great poet Rabindranath Tagore.
