Great view of a King's Palace converted into an excellent Museum... one of the major attractions of a visit to Agartala city... a well maintained full white imposing structure and the reflection in two water bodies on both sides adds to its beauty... spread over an expanse of 28 hectares of parkland, this exotic palace has several Hindu temples... the museum at the palace have preserved the local culture of the North Indians... it showcases the lifestyle, arts, culture, tradition and utility crafts... along with a lot of stone sculptures, coinage of the Manikya dynasty and some other artifacts...Thanks a lot Justin!!【ツ】
