If
you are looking out for a total rest amid cool water then visit the Neer Mahal-
the only water palace of eastern India. The magnificient lake palace was
constructed as a summer resort in 1930 by late Maharaja Birbikaram Kishore
Manikya Bahadur of the illustrious Manikya Dynasty which ruled the erstwhile
princely state of Tripura for more than 500 years. The fascinating palace
stands in the middle of a natural lake called Rudrasagar, having an area of
5.35 sq.km. The construction was undertaken by Martin & Burn Co.

| NEER MAHAL PALACE IN AGARTALA |
A
good combination of Hindu and Mughal Architecture can be noticed on the domes
of the palace. The palace has two parts- one on the western side known as Andar
Mahal which was used by the royal family and another on the eastern side which
was used for the security guards, caretakers and servants. There are 15 rooms
in the main Andar Mahal. There is a beautiful garden laid in the western side
of the palace. In the garden there is an open stage where drama and theatre
used to be performed during the times of the Maharajas.
The
approach to the palace is also exciting. Once needs to take a boat ride from
Rajghat. There is a motor boat ghat inside the palace upto which the motor boat
can go.
The
best time to go to Neer Mahal is between July and August when an annual boat
race is organized in the back waters of Rudrasagar. During winter, a large
number of migratory birds flock visit to the lake. February to March is also a
good time to visit the palace.
