Formerly known as Tippera, Tripura is that unmistakable patch of heaven one would see on a road map of Tripura, let alone India. It is situated somewhere in India’s northeast.
It was formerly a land of princes, but now the only ones who truly hold court are its indigenous people. As a result, Tripura is the site of a plethora of fairs and festivals. Every tribe in the state has practically its own dance. The colors of Tripura festivals make for one interesting experience.
Indeed, if the tourist wishes to see one, he or she must not miss the Paus-Sankranti Mela for anything. This massive celebration transpires annually near Tirtha Mukh, the source of the river Gomti. The Karchi Puja is also known to be thrown in Tripura. Book one on October when the whole of Tripura converges at the popular Durga Puja, too. |
