Tripura,
the former princely state, is the third smallest state that boasts of
unmatched and unspoiled natural beauty. Located in northeastern India,
it marks a distinctive combination of communities and cultures that
impart an utterly ethnic charm to this state. Tripura, besides being
ruled by Maharaja, claims to be a prehistoric land since it founds
mention in the ancient epics of the Mahabharata and the Puranas.Tripura is also the abode of Goddess Tripuri Sundari, who is believed to be one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, as per the Hindu mythology. Being dominated by the Bengalis, the state has Bengali culture in prevalence. Bengali and Kokborok (Tripuri) are the most common languages that are spoken and understood by the majority of people. Tribal people still exist and practice their own set of notions in the far-flung areas of the county.
This small stretch of land is divided into four districts-Dhalai, North Tripura, West Tripura, and South Tripura. Agartala serves as the administrative capital of the state. Tripura’s economy, together with various sectors like agriculture, tourism, industry, etc, is growing slowly, but steadily. Here an exotic variety of flora and fauna can be seen in the stretched forests and hilly areas. To sum up, Tripura is though a small state but has immense potential of development.
