The bungalow adjacent to the Kunjaban
Palace was originally a Kutcha house where also the Tagore stayed during his
previous visit in 1919. The Pucca building which still assumes the name Malanchabas,
was subsequently built. Among other places of visit at Agartala, mention may
be made of Maharaja Bir Bikram ?College campus which appears to have been garlanded
by a number of lakes, the government Museum where many old archaeological findings
in Tripura have been places, the Buddha Temple, Uma Maheswari Temple, handloom
and Handicrafts, corporation etc.
Jagannath Temple, Jagannath Temple at Agartala though a structure of late nineteenth
century, is attractive both to devotees of Lord Jagannath and also to the visitors
for its peculiar structure, being octagonal at the basement and having a nice
Pradakshinapatha round the sanctum. Every pillar of the octagon is crowned by
a square pyramidal cone rising above a multifoil niche which comes at the level
of the terrace.
