 |
A green hillock known as Kunjaban ( a bower) for its scenic beauty stands to the north of Ujjayanta palace at a distance of about 1 Km. Maharaja Birendra Kishore Manikya (1909-1923) selected this beautiful place for building a suburban palace for retreat and constructed a palace in 1917 which was named as ‘Pushbanta Palace’. The Maharaja himself being gifted artist is said to have drawn the plan of the palace and its adjoining garden.
Poet Rabindranath Tagore stayed in the eastern apartment of this palace during his 7th and last visit to the state in 1926. This palace was the mute witness to many of the great poet's creations including a number of popular songs. There are well laid gardens and lawns inside the palace which is the official residence of the Governor of Tripura now. The southern side of the garden has been made open for the public and has been named as‘Rabindra Kanan’. Location : Agartala How to reach Agartala ? By air from Calcutta/ Guwahati. By Train upto Dharmanagar/ Kumarghat and then by road. Distance from Dharmanagar is 192 km, bus fare from Dharmanagar Rs.65/- Distance from Kumarghat – 170 km, bus fare from Kumarghat Rs.50/-. |
