Tripura's history dates back centuries, with the Manikya Dynasty ruling the region before it acceded to India in 1947. The state became a full-fledged state in 1972. It stands as a vibrant example of cultural confluence, where tribal and non-tribal communities together weave a rich, harmonious tapestry of traditions. This unique blend is evident in every facet of life—from the graceful ‘Hozagiri’ dance of the Reang tribe to the soulful recitations of ‘Manasa Mangal’ and ‘Kirtan’ by Bengali communities. In an era where global societies are rediscovering their roots, Tripura offers a refreshing narrative—not of isolated identities, but of interconnected cultural flows. The fertile plains—dotted with paddy fields, rivers and serene villages—echo with the timeless strains of Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti and the melodies of maestro Sachin Dev Burman.
