With
its rich historical past and tradition of composite culture Tripura
is
a paradise for heritage tourism and tourists partake of the sheer
delight of being in places of history that once lay buried. That the
state had vibrant and glorious past is attested by history including ‘Rajmala’,
court chronicle of Tripura’s princely rulers of the Manikya dynasty. A
king of Tripura had attended the royal ‘Rajsua’ sacrifice of
Yudhishthira, the fabled Pandava king of Mahabharatha.
The rulers of
Tripura’s lunar Manikya dynasty tried to build up a composite culture
in an atmosphere of peace and amity and the archaeological remains
unearthed across the state bear testimony to their noble ventures.
Thus we have Pilak archaeological site in Belonia subdivision of south
Tripura where a Hindu-Buddhist culture flourished in peaceful
co-existence with each other from the 8th century AD. The delicate
works of sculpture on the Devtamura hill range of Amarpur subdivision
of south Tripura speak from silence of a rich and glorious past of the
state .
