The 'second smallest Indian state' - Tripura is picture pretty with its wide-open river valleys, hills and fertile fields.
According to popular legend Tripura gets its name from 'Tripura Sundari' the local deity.
Ruled by Manikya kings for ages, Tripura faced Muslim invasion in the year 1280 A.D. In the later centuries tribes from Burma and settlers from Bengal came to settle in these parts.
Festivals such as Kharchi, Ker, Gariya, Durga puja and Vijay dashami reflect the bright cultural heritage of this tiny land sprawled on Himalayan hills. Folk art forms such as Bizu, Lebang Boomani, Garia, Cheraw and Wangala express the spirited nature of tribes such as the Lushai, Halam, Reang, Chakma, Garo and Mog that inhabit the hills of Tripura, India.
Famous for its cane and bamboo crafts, Tripura is a melting pot of several tribal cultures.
